Including stunning new work by Molly Peacock, Dorriane Laux, and Ron Smith, among many others, this issue of Cold Mountain Review also marks the passing of one of the journal's founders, R.T. Smith. We've gathered tributes here from students, colleagues, and friends. What shines through in the memories of others is R.T.'s fierce commitment to the literary arts, his own vast multi-genre talents, and his capacity for rich, enduring friendships.
