Black Sun, 1935

November 19, 2016/in Poetry, Poetry, Winter-Spring 2017 / by David Olsen

Levee workers, Plaquemines parish, Louisiana Fourteen Negroes wheel barrows along narrow planks laid over mud. They build a levee to prevent flooding of land they’ll never own. Fearing bites of cottonmouths, copperheads, and diamondbacks, they sweat in humid bayou heat. Arrayed along a nearby ridge, four white overseers look on in the shadow of a […]

Call to Arms

November 19, 2016/in Essays, Essays, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Captain Lisbeth Prifogle, USMC

I sip on my coffee and scan over emails: doesn’t apply, not me, junk, I have a meeting with the Colonel today. The Marines’ voices bounce off the walls with excitement as they chug Rip-It energy drinks, the unofficial sponsor of war. When I ask where they get neverending cases of the eight-ounce cans of […]

I Don’t Know if I’m Dealing Very Well with Everything That’s Going On Right Now

November 19, 2016/in Fiction, Fiction, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Yxta Murray

“We’d be in more danger driving down the 101, Amanda,” Brandon says as we sit on the New York D train. “Statistically, you are literally one thousand times more likely to die in a Volvo after drinking half a glass of chardonnay.” As he talks, the subway hurtles into Brooklyn. Warm and oxygenless air presses […]

Since I Got Here

November 18, 2016/in Fiction, Fiction, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Kevin Richard White

Since you always wanted to know. Since you’ve been asking me ever since I moved here. I had lost my job and she had lost her mother. We were great at losing things. She asked her therapist, how could we lose all these beautiful things in a small world? Where do they go if we […]

Hollow

November 18, 2016/in CNF, CNF, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Carmella de los Angeles Guiol

I dig my fingers into the pockets of my jacket and tilt my face towards the sun. The sharp wind of fall stings my cheeks. I want to drink in the spaciousness of this place, disappear into the rust red canyon, become the shadows dancing on painted rock. Behind me, there are voices belonging to […]

Nipple Gazing

November 18, 2016/in CNF, CNF, Winter-Spring 2017 / by L.L. Madrid

Nineties Girlhood No one ever praised me for being smart, only for being good. Good meant pretty and quiet, pressed like a flower in the middle of a bell curve. The first time I thought about becoming an adult had nothing to do with ambition but with a yearning to be beautiful. Baywatch was playing […]

Instructions for Daughters

November 17, 2016/in Poetry, Poetry, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Kathryn Paul

Pack sackcloth and ashes in your carry-on. Bring pens, your toothbrush, a good skirt, and a magazine you will not read. At the terminal, do not flinch at his diminishment. You are not strong enough to support the weight of his grief. You will support it. Accept tasks before coffee, urgencies colliding, lists so long […]

Don’t Say Anything

November 17, 2016/in Fiction, Fiction, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Evan Morgan Williams

One month alone, and Jesse was still getting used to things. He was filling a saucepan for tea—Anna hadn’t let him take the kettle—and when he touched the stove and the faucet at the same time, he got a jolt up his arm. His arm jerked back and the saucepan flew off the stove and […]

Donald Strauss, Urban Sustainability Activist

November 17, 2016/in Interviews, Interviews, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Meredith Arena

In July 2016, I had the opportunity to talk with Donald Strauss, writer and founder of the Master’s of Arts in Urban Sustainability program at Antioch University Los Angeles. Don is also an urban cyclist who wrote a dissertation­­–he calls it a memoir manifesto–on how cycling culture has changed Los Angeles. He is an urban sustainability […]

Falling—A Mothering (Or, a Tale of Postpartum Depression)

November 17, 2016/in CNF, CNF, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Courtney E. Morgan

Leaves fluttering down on the grave in the fall, and her ashes. And I’m lying, it wasn’t fall, it was February. But the leaves were real. And it felt like she was supposed to die in the fall. Maybe I read that in a book, saw it in a movie. A girl who goes on […]

Maggie Nelson, Author of The Red Parts

November 15, 2016/in Lunch Special, Lunch Special, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Diana Odasso

In early July, my editor-in-chief emailed me with the good news that Maggie Nelson had agreed to be interviewed for Lunch Ticket. I accepted the task of interviewing her with some degree of trepidation, in part due to her vast accomplishments. She is the author of nine books, including the winner of the National Book […]

The Chicken with a Broken Beak

November 14, 2016/in Poetry, Poetry, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Nicole Santalucia

I want to be the chicken in the front seat of that Cadillac driving down Route 11. The chicken that reaches for the steering wheel when there’s another chicken in the road. The chicken that changes a flat tire and the chicken that doesn’t get beat up for loving other chickens. I want to be […]

When a Neighbor Dies

November 14, 2016/in CNF, CNF, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Milena Nigam

When I get home from my morning run, there are two police officers hanging around my driveway. They look like babies, plump skin and short bangs under their caps. Barely in their twenties. They stand under our ancient weeping cherry tree, and scant snowflakes flutter down between the tired skeleton branches. It’s not cold enough […]

Fat Tuesday in Samsara

November 13, 2016/in Poetry, Poetry, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Lana Spendl

Women gathered round the float like the waters of the night— nurses, pirates, schoolgirls in plaid—and they lifted shirts to necks and their breasts bobbed up and down. Beads of prayer fell upon them and hit their heads and throats and hearts. The women dropped to their knees to collect them—holy objects on sullied ground— […]

Are We There Yet?

November 12, 2016/in CNF, CNF, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Amber Wong

I imagine my father as a small boy, sitting on stone steps. Chin in hand, he glares at the dry towel and swim trunks he’s thrown beside him. The façade of the Hayward Plunge, a public swimming pool near his Oakland, California home, stands in harsh rebuke. How dare you, it seems to say, Chinese […]

Logic

November 11, 2016/in Poetry, Poetry, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Linda Wimberly

The child sits by an open window, watches rain bounce off red clay while Rufous-sided towhees wait out the storm, grip tangled limbs of azaleas. She hears wind tear through leaves, smells rain as it pounds the earth. ++++++++++Slowly, she picks up scissors, cuts off each finger from her only doll. The child talks to […]

The Illusion of Free Will

November 10, 2016/in DWM, DWM, Winter-Spring 2017 / by Gabe Montesanti

Before I was confirmed into the Catholic Church, I was reprimanded by a Buddhist monk in a forest thick with mosquitos. My khaki pants stuck to my legs and my collared shirt clung to my damp neck. The hijab I had worn earlier that day was still in the car along with five or six […]

Word From the Editor

Our contributors are diverse and the topics they share through their art vary, but their work embodies this mission. They explore climate change, family, relationships, poverty, immigration, human rights, gun control, among others topics. Some of these works represent the mission by showing pain or hardship, other times humor or shock, but they all carry in them a vision for a brighter world.
