Joy doesn’t mean there are no sharp edges, but there is a transcendence, a rejection or a surprise. What else? You tell us. randomsamplereview.com/submi…
I've been thinking about joy a lot, and how disconcerting it can be in the midst of overwhelming tragedy. I'm really looking forward to discovering what exactly this issue is going to be.

"I moved into my grandmother’s pottery workshop three months after she died." From “Greenware Days," #fiction by Annina Claesson randomsamplereview.com/2021/…
I love this piece so much. It’s gorgeous, atmospheric and has so much to say about identity and the people we lose on our way to understand who we are.
"It was in Brighton, on the beach and near New Year’s, when it was cold and dark and there was a wind blowing and you could walk across the pebbles of the beach, climb over the groynes and feel the slow erosion of the earth..." #fiction by Callan Preece.
