Behind the Masthead: Sam Martone

For the past two years, Sam Martone has served as our editor, overseeing all aspects of production and wielding his power like a tyrant. Kacie Wheeler, marching up winding mountain paths and tip-toeing across rickety rope bridges, caught up with him in his Editor Fortress to find out what he does in his free time (if he has any), what kinds of stories he hopes to see in the submission queue, and what he’s loved most about working on Hayden’s Ferry Review.

Contributor Spotlight: Sandra Simonds

When I was a baby poet, I would spend hours reading the two volume set of the Norton Anthology of English Literature. I still have the volumes. Between the red covers of those books, in college, I wrote notes and scribbled little pictures (look at the swans, and goblins and flowers!) beside every poem, every play.
