JONESBORO, Ark. — A poem from Cross County native Kalina Smith is featured in the latest edition of “The Arkansas Review: A Journal of Delta Studies” published by Arkansas State University.
The journal is published three times per year and features scholarly contributions from the humanities and social sciences, as well as creative material that evokes or responds to the Delta cultural and natural experience.
Smith’s poem, “Miss Moby Dick,” is featured in the Spring 2026 edition of “The Arkansas Review.” The poem is about body image and reclaiming oneself.
Smith is a Cross County High School graduate. She is an English teacher at Bay High School and lives in Jonesboro. Her debut poetry collection, “Scorpio Season,” was released last fall.
