Mr. Anaya founded the magazine in 1989 and celebrated its 30<sup>th<\/sup>-anniversary in 2019, a year before his passing this past June 28. In light of Mr. Anaya\u2019s death, Editor-in-Chief Mario Montoya wanted to honor him with two special features in the Winter 2020 and Spring 2021 issues of\u00a0<em>BMR<\/em>. Please check out the latest issue at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bmr.unm.edu\/\">https:\/\/bmr.unm.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Winter 2020 Issue of\u00a0<em>BMR\u00a0<\/em>represents a collaboration across American Literary Studies and Creative Writing, with Faculty Advisor Lisa Chavez overseeing the production and Editor-in-Chief Mario Montoya collaborating with me, Associate Professor Melina Vizca\u00edno-Alem\u00e1n. Mario and I worked to bring together two feature essays, one by Mr. Anaya\u2019s niece, Belinda Henry, and a second by opera composer H\u00e9ctor Armienta. Mr. Anaya\u2019s unpublished 2016 poem, \u201cThe Pulse of Life\u201d appears in-between these two essays, followed by the 2020 prize winnings in fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. With fiction pieces by Mary Winsor and Khanh Ha; poetry by Kelly Weber and Stephanie Chang; and non-fiction pieces by Tess Fahlgren and Jeremy Kinter, the contents of this issue encounter both regional and existential questions of the human spirit that reach into the soul of the Southwest. With new and original art interspersed throughout the issue by Despy Boutris, Guilherme Bergamini, Jocelyn Ulevicus, Frederick Nitsch, and E.E. King, the Winter 2020 issue adds visual depth to the prize writings and makes for a truly special tribute to New Mexico\u2019s beloved Chicano storyteller.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned for another tribute issue in Spring 2021 and for the tenth annual Rudolfo and Patricia Anaya Lecture on the Literature of the Southwest on October 5, 2021, US Poet Laureate Joy Harjo will deliver the tenth annual lecture in the Journal Theater at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, located at\u00a01701 4<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Street SW in Albuquerque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit the Anaya Lecture Series website at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/english.unm.edu\/anaya\">http:\/\/english.unm.edu\/anaya<\/a>.
