From our heart to yours, Cheat River Review is happy to present our next issue.
This issue’s theme was centered around Appalachia, a place that has historically been overlooked and stigmatized. Now, more than ever, we believe in the importance of representation, of showing up, of doing the work, of getting things right.
We are proud of the voices we have published in this issue, encouraged by all of those who have submitted, and emboldened by our place among talented artists and publishers.
Love, always;
Cheat River Review
