| Trauma is life-changing in terms of loss, love, and,
most especially, time. This issue of the Connecticut
Review features fiction, poetry, scholarly articles,
personal narratives, and an interview that conceive
of trauma consistent with Sigmund Freud's original
conception of it in 1895. The pieces in this issue
represent trauma both in their content as well as in
their form: many, like the histories they detail, present
time as non-linear; they echo and repeat significant
moments via flashbacks; and they question the ability
of language to convey unimaginable events.
