The MAR blog has a new design to reflect the current issue, and this black-and-white beauty is here to help us look our best. Meet RosyJo:

RosyJo belongs to MAR 35.1 contributor Cynthia Marie Hoffman, whose poem, “Open Window,” appears in the issue’s special section for prose poems, flash fiction, and everything in-between. Hoffman points out that RosyJo is clearly head-bonking MAR because she loves it. We’ll take the compliment!

Dog lovers, you had your turn recently with Ares — and trust us, more dogs are on the way — but today is the day of the cat. Allow us to present Nina:

Nina belongs to Anne Barngrover, a contributor to not one but two recent issues of MAR. Her poems “Dock and Withers” and “Survival Tactics” appear in issue 34.2 (pictured above with the gorgeous Nina), and “Site Fidelity” appears in issue 35.1 as the winner of the AWP Intro Journals Award for poetry. Congratulations to Anne for her fine work and to Nina for looking so good next to MAR.
