- Commonwealth, by Ann Patchett
2. The Maynard is delighted to announce the publication of the October 2018 Issue, featuring 23 poetic voices, 35 poems, and 20 audio recordings.
In conversation with each other and with the larger world we share, the poems in this issue offer weird and wonderful perspectives. Have you ever thought like a porcelain cat? Brianne Battye’s “Dust” does, while exploring possession, loss, and the passage of time. “Drywall,” by Amanda Proctor, navigates family trauma and an unfulfilled need to know. These poems, along with the others in the issue produce a dynamic where voices come together, sometimes in dissonance, to surprise us out of our ordinary.

Happy reading and listening!
3. Call for Poems: Repeal of Death Penalty
The death penalty is not about whether people deserve to die for the crimes they commit. The real question of capital punishment in this country is, do we deserve to kill?
― Bryan Stevenson , Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption
A poetry project began in spring 2018 to repeal the death penalty in Washington State and the rest of the United States. On October 11, 2018, the Washington State Supreme Court unanimously struck down the state’s death penalty.
