September is here. Issue 2 is here! Thank you for joining the second chapter of our literary journey. We really appreciate your support.
We’re excited to showcase 20 brilliantly brief poems & stories. From spiders to stones, worms to trees, street corners to divorce, dead ends, grief & alien encounters, we have a truly varied mix!
All these pieces are united by their ability to tell a powerful tale in few words. We judge each submission on its merits, not the length of the author’s bio. We love to champion new voices & it gives us great joy to be the first to publish a number of the writers in this issue.
Make yourself comfortable – you’re in for a treat. Happy reading!
