August is the month of the retrospective at Connotation Press. A month to look back and acknowledge all the exceptional work that has come our way in 2015. I am always blown away by the stellar work that has been published. An extraordinary blend of stories, novel excerpts, flash fiction, poetry, non-fiction and all the kickass columns every issue. January 2015 is the first issue of my column “Crazy Rabbit Review,” which features one or two writers on the first of five months out of the year. Here is the brilliant list of writers and links to their interviews, work, and three videos: A tribute to Kate Braverman, an interview with Kathy Fish, and 50 writers reading a few lines that together encompass the first chapter of Lidia Yuknavitch’s mesmerizing latest novel, “The Small Backs of Children”.

Ken Robidoux makes everything and anything possible with Connotation Press. I am honored to be a part of the incredible group of editors in this outstanding magazine. A press whose wings are ever expanding and continuously taking flight. Ken is always rocking something new with his projects on the horizon and has never said ‘no’ to any weird ass concoction I have come up with. He only works until whatever idea becomes a meteorite of art and love. Thank you for ALL, Ken! And thank you to the mind-blowing writers who trusted their work with us at CP! You make Connotation Press what it is–an exciting magazine with innovative and superlative work.
