We have an amazing new story from Colleen Olle that @DavidOfromNJ and @NatQLawrence were lucky enough to edit. It explores the ambivalence of motherhood, grief, friendship, and more. The antagonist is also, just, so good at being awful. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023…

We have a new experimental piece from Ahimaz Ponrasa (@ahimaaz) that mixes a story of lost love with a scathing critique of caste systems. It's also got a hint of sci-fi for good measure. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2022…
Our last piece of 2021 is up! It's a new poem from Jasmine Kaur (@trying0000) that is a little bit perfect for this time of year. This experimental piece deftly mixes tension with ambivalence in a powerful way. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2021…
We have a new poem from Lora Robinson (@starsinmyteeth) that is a must-read for fans of dreamy poetry that also rips you apart. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2022… (Art by @jr_korpa)

We have a new story from David Obuchowski (@DavidOfromNJ), who knows just how to wield an unreliable narrator. Many people have someone like this in their family, which makes this a tough, but important story. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2021…

We have a new poem from Lynn Finger (@sweetfirefly2) that takes you on a tightrope walk across the crevasse of a failed relationship. It's a light yet lonely read (in the best way). Check it out here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2021…

One last shout for the night: subs open, capped at 50. Everyone gets feedback & handwritten line notes. This is more like a collaborative project for me than it is a plain old indie journal. Sure would be cool to see some gifts in the ol' inbox. (THREAD)

If I can’t be a writer…
If I can't be a writer then all the mental illness in my family will have been for nothing.
