The new Fall 2008 issue of The Iowa Review has been released, featuring a variety of fiction, nonfiction and poetry.

In this edition, readers will find Kirstin Allio's story about a nanny with a precocious charge and a mysterious past; Alex Epstein's brief considerations of solved crossword puzzles and Jung's nightmares; twisted poetic "valentines" courtesy of Writers' Workshop graduate Kiki Petrosino; a marriage proposal from graphic memoirist Maggie McKnight; and the understatement of the year by one of fiction writer Steven Patterson's laconic cowboys. Other contributors, such as former IWP participants such as Kei Miller and Elena Bossi, share their poetry and prose.
