Hanging Loose 92 Review in NewPages!
Here is a look at NewPage's review of Hanging Loose 92:
On Sherman Alexie's two opening poems
"Quoting a section [from Alexie] won't give him justice. Read these poems, cry (from sadness and laughter), and know that Alexie still recognizes, despite his fame, that good poetry demands attention and vulnerability to the world."
On the featured prose
"I thought Helen Elaine Lee's prose poem, 'Life Without,' extremely compelling, for she makes the reader pity prisoners without relying on false sentimentality."
On the magazine's featured high-school-age writers
"This section, along with the entire magazine, demonstrate's Hanging Loose's sincere interest in new and emerging writers."
