Small Rain has won the PEN/Faulkner Award. I don’t know what to say, except that I’m very grateful to the judges, & very moved to see my book included alongside such excellent writers.

Hugo, the reclining purple dog on our new cover, would like to request that all our contributors to this issue share photos of their author copies posed next to their own reclining animals. It's very important to Hugo (and Coven). Thank you.
