    Spring 2020

    Later, after the bid, the subtle love/hate
    rules, the battle via the hotel bed
    (the veritable feast, the tolerable thud),
    I felt better able to have at the hurdles.
    After the trouble, all the heaviest debt
    traveled sub-heartbeat. I left the hotel.

    Caki Wilkinson is the author of the poetry collections Circles Where the Head Should Be (2011) and The Wynona Stone Poems (2015).  New poems have appeared in or are forthcoming in the New Yorker, the Nation, the Yale Review, and Kenyon Review. She lives in Memphis, Tennessee.

    I write my checks to local nonprofits. I purchase local and often at my local grocer and CSA and bookstore. I sign my petitions and make my calls. I try to be a good citizen and neighbor.   But I can’t evade the pain of feeling that I’m far, far away from my city.

    Remembering Earl Rovit

    The Sewanee Review

    The Sewanee Review has received word that longtime contributor Earl H. Rovit passed away on April 16 at the age of ninety. Rovit was a contributor of essays and criticism to the Sewanee Review for over forty years. A leading literary scholar of the writing of Ernest Hemingway, Ralph Ellison, Saul Bellow and William Faulkner, Rovit was one of the first in the early 1960s to discern and explore what became known as the Jewish American literary tradition, including writers such as Bellow, Bernard Malamud, Norman Mailer and Philip Roth.

    Hey guys, he said. I think I'm gonna get a job.

    Gonna get a what? another said.

    A job, said the sloth. You know, something to do. Don't you guys ever get tired of eating leaves?
