THE COLLAGIST: Issue Four

The fourth issue of The Collagist is now live!

In Issue Four, we've got fiction from Cooper Renner, Chad Benson, Kate Petersen, and Lance Olsen (with art by Andi Olsen), as well as novel excerpts from Xiaoda Xiao and Ornela Vorpsi. You'll also find poetry from Arlene Ang, Stephen Dobyns, Judy Huddleston, and Keith Taylor, plus non-fiction from Brian Oliu and Melissa Pritchard.

In book reviews, we've got coverage of Translation is a Love Affair by Jacques Poulin, The Suburban Swindle by Jackie Corley, Girl Trouble by Holly Goddard Jones, The Southern Cross by Skip Horack, and The Halfway House by Guillermo Rosales, as well as a video review of The Bigness of the World by Lori Ostlund.

We're also happy to introduce our newly-minted Classic Reprints section, which will be appearing frequently in the months to come. This month, we have the honor of reprinting John Cheever's "The Fourth Alarm" alongside an introductory essay written by his son, Benjamin H. Cheever.

As always, thank you in advance for reading, and for helping us spread the word about The Collagist. I hope you enjoy the issue!

It's a great issue as always, Matt. I loved the Cheever and Kate Petersen's story and look forward to digging in to the rest. Good work, man. -Jensen
