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. |
