APRIL 2016
With great pleasure, the editors offer congratulations to…
- MARSHA POMERANTZ, whose “Right/Left: A Triptych,” from our Summer 2015 issue, was selected for inclusion in the Best American Essays 2016.
- LINDA GREGERSON, whose poem “Font,” from our Summer 2015 issue, will appear in Best American Poetry 2016.
- TOM SLEIGH, whose poem “Prayer for Recovery,” from our Spring 2015 issue, was also selected for Best American Poetry 2016.

JULY 2015
Farewell to SEBASTIANO VASSALLI (1941-2015), one of Italy's literary greats and an intellectual in the largest sense. It was an honor to have his words (vividly translated by GREGORY CONTI) grace our pages. We are particularly proud to have featured several chapters from Vassalli's "Amore Lontano" (Faraway Love), an eclectic work of literary appreciation and interpretation by someone who considered himself an "extremist of poetry." Vassalli, known primarily as a novelist, was nominated for a Nobel Prize in Literature in May 2015 and was to receive a Campiello Prize for lifetime achievement in September 2015.
OCTOBER 2014
The editors extend a warm welcome to Michael Van Unen, Raritan's new Office Manager.
SEPTEMBER 2014
It is with sadness that we note the passing of two great men of letters:
KARL MILLER, founder of the London Review of Books and a long-time friend of Raritan and its editors, first appeared in the magazine in the Spring 1995 issue. His wit and insight enlivened his essays and reviews and will be sorely missed.
P. N. FURBANK first appeared in Raritan in the Summer 1991 issue, writing on Diderot. Since then, his work has graced our pages with essays on the historical novel, determinism, Robert Musil, and film.
AUGUST 2014
We bid a fond farewell to DONNA K. GREEN, who has served as Raritan's administrative assistant since the fall of 1985. We will miss her cheerful presence (that silvery laugh!) and her efficient management of the office. We wish her all the best in her retirement.
