Denver Quarterly56.3 opens with the special haptic acts portfolio, featuring work that, as guest editors Emily Barton Altman and Cass Eddington write, “makes visible the tools we do and do not know how to use, tools we fumble with, reaching we never grow tired of.” In addition to work in this portfolio by Timothy Donnelly, Petra Kuppers, Vi Khi Nao, and others, this issue includes poetry by Jen Frantz and Isaac George Lauritsen, prose by Exodus Oktavia Brownlow and Laura Hope-Gill, and much more.
