There were so many entries from the e-mail list that I decided to give away 2 copies instead. Earlier today, I mailed these books to the 2 people whose names were randomly selected. You may also want to purchase or borrow a copy of this book for yourself. Happy reading!

Fall 2025 was the 40th issue of the Apple Valley Review. I have been so grateful for the encouragement I've received over the past 20 years. As a gesture of thanks, I held a drawing for a copy of The Anthropologists, a meditative novel by Ayşegül Savaş (Bloomsbury USA, 2024).

I did not grab anything
candy, brush pen, hammer, or yuan notes
I was told, on that afternoon
they put me in a winnowing fan in the sun…

“I felt certain that near me was a portal through which a whole other kind of life, parallel to mine but much richer, was being conducted.”

— “Saint Zinaida’s Day” (short story) by Peter Newall, Apple Valley Review, Vol. 20, No. 1 (Spring 2025).
