Exciting News for this coming year....

Hello from D.C. --95 degrees coupled with 90% humidity. We, the Potomac Review staff, have wisely buried ourselves inside in the air conditioning, working on Issue #48.

Fall 2010-Spring 2011 is going to be very exciting for us. We will be producing THREE issues this year, #48 in October, #49 which will be a special All Poetry issue and a spring special celebratory #50, which will feature the best of all 50 issues of the PR's history.

Subscribe now and get all three issues for the price of two.

AWP-- We were lucky enough to have our Reading "Best of the 50" chosen to be included. We're not sure when in the Feb. 2-5 conference it will be but please plan on joining us and our featured readers to celebrate the continuing healthy life of a print literary magazine. AWP comes to Washington, DC this year, so don't miss it.

"Enjoy our July's Hot Opener."

Hot Opener

Post
A short story by
David Tucholski

Janice is sleeping the day away again. I open the blinds, stomp around, turn up the volume so that Matt Lauer is screaming. She heaves under the covers, shifts to a warmer spot, but takes little notice. I sigh a long thrusting breath: deflating.

I sit on the edge of the bed. The old box spring moans, chuckles a bit. I cough, clear a phlegmy throat (she hates that). But still, Janice sleeps. Sucking at stale air, wheezing beneath a matted comforter. Wasting time.

Have a great day! If you have any questions, email us at PotomacReviewEditor@montgomerycollege.edu.

Best wishes,

Julie Wakeman-Linn & the PR Team.

"The Paul Peck Humanities Institiute at Montgomery College is proud to publish Potomac Review. As a yearly publication rooted in our region, PR reflects its people, landscapes, habitats, values and ethos. In significant ways, it embodies Montgomery College's dedication to the arts and humanities, and has enabled us to showcase some of the talent at the College, particularly from our art classes. Potomac Review publishes a lively blend of writers and artists from the region and beyond. If you like what you see and read, please let us know. And, if you have suggestions, we want to hear from you, too. We hope that your loyalty to Potomac Review deepens and that you will embrace PR through your subscriptions."
