Twice a year, we feature interviews with the movers-and-shakers in Western writing, columns by writers steeped in the form, and poetry and fiction from some of the best authors in the business. For our Autumn/Winter 2018 issue, we’re celebrating the great American sporting event known as rodeo. You'll find fantastic nonfiction and historical pieces from the likes of Spur Award-winning author and poet Rod Miller, Michael Koch, Terry Alexander, John T. Biggs, and Tom Correa; great new short fiction from Dennis Doty, Michael McLean, Kari Holloway, Marlon S. Hayes, and Doug Hocking; the sixth and penultimate chapter of our serial graphic novel event BENDER, written by Michael L. Frizell and illustrated by D.A. Frizell; poetry from John Nesbitt, Michael Lee, Spur Award-winner Rod Miller, and Laurie Duncan; and columns on all things western from our dedicated staff.
