Forthcoming Issues

 

 

Spring/Summer 2013: “Lasting: Writers Over 57.” Good words are always lasting and so are good people.  They last in our memory and on the page. But why publish an issue of writers over 57? Nimrod International Journal is celebrating its 57th year of continuous publication and promises to last another 57 or more.  But more important to our decision to focus on mature writers and writing is that the “boom” generation (ages 48-62) and older present its own culture, a culture “on the edge.”  The precarious, the unsettled have always been a great source of creative energy. Those 57 and older are emerging as the “Golden” generation with promise of not only living longer, healthier lives, but of expanding initial insights into wisdom, of having time and space to reach and risk beyond the humdrum. This issue will feature the best poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction—all by writers 57 and older.

 

Fall/Winter 2013: “Awards 35.” Nimrod’s annual prize issue, featuring the winners, honorable mentions, and finalists of the 35th Annual Nimrod Literary Awards.
