Two Poems — Poetry by Nettie Farris
This Is How You Will Find Me For some time, now, I’ve been inventorying the critters in your poems. The birds, especially, call out to me. This morning, the bird with half a wing is lodging itself in the lower left corner of my heart. Throughout the day, the others will compete for the […]
Carmen, La Calentadora — Short Fiction by Mariela Josefina Acosta Cozar de Coronado
After days on horseback I arrived in Sevilla. It was evening, mid-August, and the streets were oppressive with heat. By the river, lined with crowds and chiringuitos, I found a suitable pensión and was shown to a humble but clean room. The muchacha said, —You will find the heat of Sevilla very hot. It will […]
Lunar Tropic — Poetry by Michael Paul Hogan
Pieces from a fisherman’s notebook I At six p.m. the street submits a false gradient, seems to tilt towards the bay, as though one coin has been taken from a pair of balanced scales and made into the moon (an absolute circle of fine white gold, with the Presidente’s head smoothed almost entirely away […]
Departure — Short Fiction by Elizabeth Mac Lean
“Take me to your leaderrrr,” I spoke into the whizzing fan. I imagined the neighbors peering over from their back deck with the potted plants and red umbrella, momentarily entertaining the idea that perhaps there really were aliens taking a tour of their cul-de-sac. “Blee-bloo-blap,” I sang loudly, my eyes squinted against the wind and […]

The Flight from Atlanta to Little Rock– Poetry by Steven Ratiner
“The Flight from Atlanta to Little Rock and below us, the land is a tight-seamed patchwork – how men work the earth, stake their claim. Watching, I sketch new ideas in my notebook. Next time, I’ll make jade lakes dotting a bed quilt, mountain ranges in raw silk stair-stepped in greens and blues and, beyond […]
Extreme Unction — Fiction by C. J. Griego
Leslie’s Granddad had been dead for four days. He was her first dead person. Officially, Mrs. Kennedy’s rabbit, Chalky, had been her first dead thing, and she remembered when the whole street had closed its front curtains as Joey Wynn had been carried out in his coffin; but these deaths didn’t count because they belonged […]

Howling at the Moon — Poetry by Robert S. King
Neither as full nor as bright as the moon, like a dark cloud I shield my eyes from its face of scars. I glow but fear the spotlight whose x-ray beams expose me as hollow. I flee inside to bask in light I’ve paid for that paints my walls too thick for the howls […]
Evening — Poetry by Keith Nunes
Jasper and I are dumping religion on Talulah’s bed her dead serious Doc Maarten’s like leathered punks in their seventies he and I scratch around playfully watching for signs of struggle but he’s a bichon that doesn’t bite and I’m a poetic Portuguese missing teeth Talulah’s paintings claim the walls left by giant spreading windows, […]
