Our 60th anniversary issue, just out, represents precisely what we’ve been offering over these many decades: a wide and surprising range of work by the best writers on everything from politics and literature to art and the current culture. Along with a collection of columns from the past and a timely consideration of AI and the humanities, the issue offers new poems by Robert Pinsky and Chase Twichell, among others, a letter from Israel, a story by Joyce Carol Oates, a report from Hanoi, a review of recent books on racial justice and integration along with editor-in-chief Robert Boyers, who started Salmagundi in New York City in 1965, on fascism and resistance in our dangerous moment. After 60 years, no backing down in sight —#228-229 is a banger.
