We would like to
thank all the writers who participated in the 2005 contest for
allowing us an opportunity to become acquainted with your work.
There were many exceptional submissions in fiction and in
poetry, and making a selection from the nearly one thousand
entries was a very difficult chore for the editors of
Mississippi Review. We hope that we have done a good job and
found stories and poems of diverse and representative sorts.
As always when we read, we seek the problematic, the
troublesome, the curious, the ill-fitting, the remarkable and
the mundane, work that stays with us after we read it, work that
challenges our tastes and imaginations, our spirits. We thank
you for your help in sending this work our way. |
