Our guest editor for this knockout, twentieth anniversary issue was none other than founding editor of Stirring, Erin Elizabeth Smith. This journal would not be what it is or where it is without her continued creative output for the online writing community.
Erin Elizabeth Smith is the Creative Director at the Sundress Academy for the Arts and the Managing Editor of Sundress Publications. Her work has appeared in journals including Guernica, Crab Orchard Review, Ecotone, and Mid-American. Her third full-length collection, Down: The Alice Poems, will be released by Agape Editions in 2019. Smith is a Distinguished Lecturer in the English Department at the University of Tennessee.
