The Iowa Review Publishes
Steve Gerkin
One of the top literary magazines in the United States, published Gerkin's The Legend of the Protester with the Molar Bandana in the spring of 2020. With the spotlight on Iowa City, his essay marks the 50th anniversary of the 1970 student unrest on American campuses.
Managing editor Lynne Nugent, MFA, Ph.D. writes, "Your essay is an innovative take on a question that is more relevant than ever: How far did or should one go in activism when the world was/is at a crossroads? Hopefully your essay will get young people to think that they might be looking back someday with the questions you have.”
