BOOK REVIEW
"Resilience as a Lifestyle: A Review of Crying in the Bathroom by Erika L. Sánchez"
by Shana Scudder
"She finally found relief after undergoing a series of electroshock treatments, and through describing this process she breaks down stereotypes of both what mental illness looks like and the forms of treatment such as ECT that have a storied mythology in popular culture."
We are pleased to announce the results of the first annual West Trade Review Prize for Poetry contest.
Grand Prize ($500 and publication in West Trade Review): Max Parker "Secrets And Surprises"
Honorable Mention: Amanda Leal, "AMERICA"
Honorable Mention: Lauren Endicott "Mama Snake Love on Vinyl"
Congratulations to all three poets!
