Vol. 44, No. 1 (2023)

Selections from the Current Issue

Fiction

Rebecca van Laer

Les Chats

Poetry

C. Dale Young

Lustre

Poetry

and rubs his muzzle on my palms 
and I spread my fingers.
Is it me unleashing it on Arapien Valley? . . .

March 27, 2023 Filed Under: Featured, News & Notes

"I like to think of genre as a matter of nets and veils, because nets and veils, which provide cover and establish boundaries, also reveal and catch," says Carolyn Kuebler in the editor's note to the new issue. In this issue you'll find pieces in each of our traditional genres—though some could …
