This year’s cover photograph is The Fisherman is by Maryland photographer Wilson Wyatt. The image is of an osprey in the early spring. With wings spread to exhibit his power, the osprey positioned himself high above the water on a storm-broken tree trunk, his talons clutching a partially devoured fish.
“The osprey’s purpose,” Wyatt says, “is not so much the fish as it is his desire to lure a suitable mate for the season’s nest. Thematically, the image exhibits the territorial imperative shared throughout the animal kingdom, including among humans.” The 15th annual edition of the literary journal, now at the printer, will highlight new poetry, fiction, and nonfiction from 60 authors. Details of the contents will be announced soon. Consult the website for details: www.DelmarvaReview.org.
