SCR Issue 52.1 includes fiction by Dean Bakopoulos and Emily Collins, along with poetry by Maurice Manning, and Canese Jarboe.
Issue 51:2 features fiction by Alix Ohlin, George Singleton, and Sarah Domet; poetry by Robert Wrigley, Janelle Effiwatt, Kelly Davio, G. C. Waldrep, and Nicholas Molbert; non-fiction by Michael Griffith; book reviews of Geffrey Davis and Meredith McCarroll.
This number is for George William (Bill) Koon and Frank Louis Day, close friends who were also Clemson’s first two managing editors of The South Carolina Review; may they rest in peace. On August 2, 2017, Frank passed away after a long illness, followed by Bill, on October 3, after a surprisingly short one. The near coincidence recalls the theme of Bill’s address during the journal’s fortieth-anniversary celebration, “Parallel Lives,” as he called it, after a book he liked by Plutarch. Considering their long association as fellow editors, professors, and department heads, the lives of Bill and Frank were in many ways coincident but parallel—their careers ran “along side by side” The South Carolina Review (see 41.1 [Fall 2008]: 3-4).
