Fairchild, Denise Levertov, and Kathleen Norris; and gorgeous four-color art by Ed Knippers, Tim Rollins and KOS, Catherine Prescott, and Steve Hawley. / Image is one of America?s leading literary quarterlies?and one of the top ten in terms of paid circulation. Its award-winning material regularly appears in the ?Year?s Best? anthologies and has been reprinted in books, websites, and magazines such as Harper?s, Utne Reader, and the Wilson Quarterly. / Highly regarded in the public square of American culture, Image has also become the foremost source of contemporary art and literature in faith communities, winning recognition from the Associated Church Press as well as some of our era?s most prominent church leaders and theologians. Novelist Bret Lott calls it ?the most meaningful literary journal being published today.?
