one of my pet peeves is the belief that a poem is just a more complicated way of saying something you could say plainly. no. at its best, every line of a poem is actually the simplest way you could say something—it’s just that the something is complicated & strange & alive.
Can you believe it’s already December? This year really has been a whirlwind! Finish it out strong by sending us your PRECEDENTED TIMES poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, art, and photography today!

Okay, with Omicron we may have jumped the gun on our PRECEDENTED TIMES issue, but we can still hope, right? Maybe curling up with a book while the snow falls around us is one form of precedented times anyway? What’s your cozy way of living life precedented?

We know this week is filled with a lot of emotions for everyone, but we wanted to take a moment to practice gratitude and say thank you to the readers, writers, and creative minds who help make the Electric Rail a reality every issue.

The moon is going to do some cool things tonight and we’re here for it. Any other lunar lovers out there ready to be inspired by the moon’s red glow?

Sometimes it’s good to just take stock of where we are in life. We’re going on almost 2 years of pandemic life, the world is getting warmer, and life may seem uncertain and unplanable, but we still have cozy artistic spaces and people we care about to make it all a little easier.
Do you ever like to ride your bike as far as your legs will take you and see what you find on the other side?

Editor: this sentence is confusing. Can you reword it?
Me: no problem *deletes sentence*
Okay, we know it’s early to be hanging wreaths, but with the holidays upon us and vaccinations up, we don’t mind a little extra cheer in November. Just think, PRECEDENTED TIMES are right around the corner!

ALT Dark painted front door with an evergreen wreath hanging on a gold hook on the door. There is a gold key lock and a patina and gold colored mail slot under the wreath. Going around the wreath clockwise there is a large bundle of cinnamon sticks, a small gingerbread cookie star, a snowy pinecone and plaid ribbon, a small cinnamon stick, a gingerbread star and a gingerbread heart.
Remember when falling in love was as easy as a good date after matching on the apps without checking vaccination status and comfort level? Well, those PRECEDENTED TIMES are coming again soon! Who's ready?

PRECEDENTED TIMES give us art vibes. Who’s excited to go to galleries, explore the creative world, and get their art on together in the next few months?

ALT 5 people stand in an art gallery. Two in the middle have their backs turned to the camera as they look at a large modern art painting with bright colors and shapes on a stark white wall. One woman stands to the left side snapping a picture of the painting with her camera. Two others stand on the right side looking at a piece of art not photographed.
