Celebrating 17 years of relevant poetry in Rutherford with The Red Wheelbarrow Nr. 17! Welcome to The Red Wheelbarrow Nr. 17! Our featured poet this year is Tom Benediktsson. We're excited to include two special sections that continue to expand our local poetry circle: one of them is guest-edited by poet Tamara Zbrizher, and another one is dedicated to Lyndhurst High School poets. This year, our main poetry section is curated by Arthur Russell who also took the photos for the section openers (we love the tomatoes prose section!) Don't miss the insightful prose pieces curated by Frank Rubino and covering topics from Williams' life and poems to memoir and prose poetry. All this exciting work is wrapped up in a beautiful blue cover, featuring the painting Crow Story #2 by Kay Stanfield, a nod to the doctors' famous white chickens. We hope you'll find this edition inspiring, a slice of the best contemporary writing in New Jersey and New York. We also hope that The Red Wheelbarrow Nr. 17 will motivate each one of you to continue to write, create, and attend our weekly workshops on Zoom and our monthly events at The Felician University Little Theater. Our community and annual journal are proving this year once again that the William Carlos Williams legacy is still going strong in Rutherford-where the epic is indeed the local fully realized. The good doctor would be so proud.
