“We feel time in what we read.”
April 9, 2021
"We feel time in what we read. Time accrues readily to text, both at the surface of language and deeper down, where meaning arises among associations with and references to a world that is always evolving."
In honor of National Poetry Month A Public Space's 2021 Editorial Fellow Miguel Coronado talks with poetry editor Brett Fletcher Lauer, and poet-translators Jennifer Kronovet and Benjamin Paloff, about their work.

“The Metaphor Game” by John Francis Istel
March 9, 2021
The Academy for Teachers' Stories Out of School 2021 Flash Fiction Contest Winner, selected by Jonathan Lethem
Judge's Citation: Out of a superb batch of teacher-short-shorts, I finally had to settle on “The Metaphor Game”. It has verve, compression, surprise, and courage on its side—everything you want, in barely three pages. The irony is deft, and it makes a fierce commentary on its social-justice theme and also the current state of disrepair in the world of metaphor.

A portrayal of mental illness like none other. More claustrophobic than Girl, Interrupted and more frightening than The Bell Jar, Howland’s memoir maps the world of a 1960s psychiatric ward with an unflinching eye.
