Natalie Shapero’s poem Quick Thinking, featured in the University of Southern Indiana’s Fall 2024 issue of Southern Indiana Review (SIR), will appear in the next The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses series. This series, published every year since 1976, is the most honored literary project in America, including Highest Honors from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
“This means that Southern Indiana Review will be able to represent USI in bookstores, libraries and classrooms around the country—any time a reader encounters Shapero’s terrific poem and says to themselves, ‘Wow, where was this published?’ they’ll find the Southern Indiana Review, and this may be their introduction to our journal,” says Rosalie Moffett, USI Assistant Professor of English.
Published biannually by USI’s Southern Indiana Review Press, Southern Indiana Review presents a cross-section of emerging and established artists and writers whose work is both regional and national in scope and degree of recognition. With the support of the Indiana Arts Commission and National Endowment for the Arts, SIR is published in October and May by the University of Southern Indiana and sponsored by USI’s College of Liberal Arts.
