Sand Hill Review Publishes LAHS Grad's Poetry
Two poems by Libbie Katsev appear in the newest edition.
Los Altos High School graduate and Mountain View resident Libbie Katsev gets another honor in her long list of writing honors: Publication in the Sand Hill Review.
Two of Katsev's poems, "cure for nostalgia" and "a poem about electromagnetic repulsion and thermonuclear reactions" were selected by poetry editor Janice Dabney and appear in the 2013 edition, which was released this week.
The Sand Hill Review was created more than a decade ago by two literary-minded colleagues at the Stanford Linear Accelerator to champion up-and-coming writers, via print and online editions. Since then, it has grown from very local to have an international reach in audience and contributors.
"I don't know if she's the youngest in this issue," wrote co-founder Martin Sorensen in a response to a Patch query, "but it is unusual to have someone appear in SHR at her stage of life."
