Our Editor in Chief, Tucker Newsome, has published his Letter from the Editor for this year. He explains the changes we are making to #12thStreetJournal in response to a turbulent year for American democracy: “It forced those who were previously comfortable with the status quo to reconsider which side of history they should stand. It has required us, the staff of 12th Street, to come to terms with our legacy, and that to me is groundbreaking.” Give it a read, and let us know what you think.

WHAT WE’RE READING, #8 ~~~
Aly Tadros, nonfiction editor: “Jo Ann Beard’s “The Boys of My Youth” is a collection of essays chronicling the grief, loss, and countless cigarettes over the first 43 years of her life. The title itself is a Trojan horse: While men weave in and out of her life, her writing covers a vast emotional landscape; from the horror of a school shooting in Iowa, to the subtle restlessness of a pre-teen summer. For anyone who loves metaphor, simile, and well...other people smoking cigarettes.”

03/02/2018

WHAT WE’RE READING, #7 ~~~
Erika Peterson, assistant fiction editor: “This is a book that directly addresses the reader from the very first page. It draws you in and forces you into a chair where you are actually a character in the novel itself, and yet it still manages to keep you interested long enough to unravel a story that that is unlike many others that I have read. A truly unique piece of fiction. I'm excited to see where it goes.”

02/28/2018

WHAT WE’RE READING, #6 ~~~
Michael Anthony, poetry editor: “This is the first volume of David Lehman's Best American Poetry, a series that continues to this date. I often find myself revisiting this volume because upon reading this anthology, I am transported back to 1988 when David, the main editor and John Ashbery, the guest editor for this specific volume, selected what feels like to me, the true canon of American poetry. It makes the inaccessible verse of poetry, accessible, approachable, and understandable. The first edition of Best American Poetry celebrates the ever shifting geography of the American landscape, allowing the reader to see a physical presence within the poetic verse.”

02/26/2018

WHAT WE’RE READING, #5 ~~~
Melissa Puello, assistant poetry editor: “Just started reading this and I can't put the book down. It is relatable and funny, which I can really appreciate. I love when writers can find the humor in tragedy!"

02/24/2018

WHAT WE’RE READING, #4 ~~~
Gregory Levine-Rozenvayn, managing editor: “Simultaneously timeless and timely, Engine Empire frames our American psyche—fragmented, dystopian, and on the verge of implosion—in traditional forms.”

02/21/2018

WHAT WE’RE READING, #3 ~~~
Tucker Newsome, editor in chief: “A masterclass in craft, Denis Johnson's Jesus's Son never quits. With characters that should never be trusted with little more than a long-expired coupon, Johnson deftly endears them to the reader in ways that are cause for concern for those who believe themselves to possess a moral compass. The stories cut to the fragile heart of American society and expose a pronounced disposition towards apathy and negligence. Johnson continues to deliver with each and every read.”

02/17/2018

WHAT WE’RE READING, #2 ~~~
Maddie Monaghan, fiction editor: “Charming Billy by Alice McDermott is an incredibly moving and impressively structured novel...the National Book Foundation thought so too! McDermott holds a magnifying glass up to ordinary people, expertly captures complicated family dynamics, and tells a compelling story with stunning wisdom and empathy.”
