Teachers goes back to school with a global roster of writers and artists as they explore their literary and sentimental educations. Featuring Eileen Myles, Martha Cooley, Kimiko Hahn, Ron Padgett, Theresa Rebeck, Elissa Schappell, Paul La Farge, Dorothy Allison, and a look at PEN's diverse programming. At the end of the issue we transport you back to 1922, PEN American Center's founding year and the height of modernism. Borrowing from the pages of The Dial, The Crisis, and The Little Review, we offer you a taste of the literary scene, alongside a trove of photographs, drawings, advertisements, headlines, and commentary. The featured writers—including Joyce, Du Bois, Woolf, McKay, Crane, Cather, Fitzgerald, Mansfield, and Moore—remain some of our greatest teachers and literary loves.
