The yearning is over! Launch yourself into the new issue and face the uncertainty with these fantastic contributors.

Red hot and still frosty! It's a great issue, so I'd hate for you to miss it!
Issue 14 is here!
Step off the trail, let yourself be buffeted by the wind and the rain, the fire and earth, the grief and fury and bravery of these contributors. Plus there’s a word search 🙂

To start: Talk about RANGE! @DyaniSabin’s got a book coming out, Music Information Literacy, on advocacy and inclusion in music libraries. AND a stunner of a modern take on sleeping beauty in @SmallwonderSFF that you can read here: smallwondersmag.com/piece/ab…

"savoring every birdsong
as if it is my last"
@DyaniSabin's "To the house wren that sang on my patio" in Issue 11 won't take long to read, but it'll lodge itself in your heart
"we found better anthems, holier idols, but we never forgot where we started, in that middle-of-a-cow-pasture school"
The things that make you and get outgrown and the things that it's impossible to leave behind. Damn, this one's real good.
We've got such a lovely new story from the wonderful @Chloe_Chun for you to read today! So powerful and good! 💖🐇🍬

Thank you so much to @EmergeJournal and @DianeGotAuthor for publishing this piece about my chronic illness which is part of a wider essay I posted on my website earlier this year:

Hi loves, if you are able, it would mean the world to me if you would preorder my book. The world is tough for authors and small presses right now—your support is vital and deeply appreciated. ❤️
HIGH PRIESTESS OF THE APOCALYPSE is a lyrical exploration of disobedience, grief, and healing. This memoir reckons w/climate grief, the impulse to fight for what we love, & how to turn dread into action. @ChristyTending’s memoir will subsume you. Preorder: elj-editions.com/high-priest…
This was honestly real fun to make. My beta testers assure me it's pretty fun to play too.
Are y'all still playing Connections? Did you know you can make a custom one that, for example, encapsulates the most recent issue by pulling words and themes from each piece? Well have I got good news for you!

I don’t want to have been beautiful
only when in a hospital gown – or in memoriam.

Yes, I did update my website and send it to my mom. Thanks for asking.

Thank you so much for publishing and sharing this! It's a vulnerable one and I'm grateful it found such a caring home!

The call comes at 6:47 AM. I answer because Mom doesn’t call at 6:47. We do our weekly catch-up calls at 4:00 on Sunday afternoons.
I’m stalling.
