Keep Your Momentum: An Interview with Elise Capron

December 4, 2020/in Interviews, Interviews, Winter-Spring 2021 / Interviewed by Janet Rodriguez

What I really appreciate about agenting—and you can’t say this about many jobs in the world—is that my job is to represent authors and projects that I love. I can’t and shouldn’t take on a project unless I genuinely love it. […]

Visual Model of Utopia, 2020

Visual Models-Mixed Media

December 4, 2020/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2021 / Keith Buswell

Artists are in the business of making models: windows into the soul of society that put into context the human condition. It is an aim to coalesce our shared reality through the lens of a single individual, the artist, and their experience, perspective, and opinions.[…]

White Voice (Un)Masked

December 4, 2020/in CNF, CNF, Winter-Spring 2021 / Bill Marsh

The white male body that exists and speaks—and shops and wears a mask (or doesn’t)—can also wield a gun, and kneel, and kill, as Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin proved when he crushed the life out of George Floyd.[…]

Sung’s Shop

December 3, 2020/in Gabo, Gabo, Winter-Spring 2021 / Karin Kalisa, translated by Johanna McCalmont

Berlin was one of the first cities I ever visited in Germany, and since then, I’ve been fascinated by its East/West history and the legacy of that period. I was immediately captivated by Sungs Laden because it touches on a less-known aspect of East German history.[…]

The Shaving Cream of the Month Club

December 3, 2020/in Winter-Spring 2021, Writing For Young People, Writing for Young People / Evan Fackler

Ron says men are allowed to give themselves hugs, and even to hug other men. That that’s the whole point of all those cowboy movies, and it doesn’t make you a wussy, it makes you a full-hearted man. Mom says this is one of the great things about Ron.[…]

Blue Motion-Acrylic

December 3, 2020/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2021 / Sandy Coomer

In this collection, I ask: What can the color blue teach us? What emotional, psychological, and physiological reaction do we have when blue is allowed to speak? Because this type of art is fluid, attention must be paid to the motion of the pieces[…]

Wordscapes

December 3, 2020/in Flash Prose, Flash Prose, Winter-Spring 2021 / Rukmini Kalamangalam

In Wordscapes, you cannot pull a jagged tooth from a lovely mouth. Pretty makes try makes yet. Beautiful makes flit makes fate. Wordscapes has never asked me to spell death, which makes heat makes date makes tea. Without power, heat is unbearable.[…]

Breathing The New Society- Acrylic

December 2, 2020/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2021 / Darius Alexander Dyson

The specific paints and color variations I use in my work also impact the work as well as the subjects I present. Colors like red and blue can sometimes be used as references to political parties, or the use of black to emphasize the feeling of emptiness, as well as it being used for more modern line work for the pop feel.[…]

Lazarus and the Rich

December 2, 2020/in Winter-Spring 2021, Writing For Young People, Writing for Young People / Ryan Kim

When Michael arrived, there were no flames licking up the building, but he could still feel the heat waves emanating from below. The fire had started low and restricted itself to one floor, the bottom floor where Michael and his mother lived. He took a breath and tried to sniff out the burnt scent of his room and all its used furniture.[…]

Those You Neglect

December 2, 2020/in CNF, CNF, Winter-Spring 2021 / Randy William Santiago

He ain’t my favorite person, she’d say, but he is your father. A simple truth he ignored, never once attempting to bridge the gap. Lived ten minutes away, worked even closer, but he was like a ghost, an apparition, someone we fabricated a connection with but who would ultimately vanish.[…]

Self-Celebration Transforms You: An Interview with Reyna Grande

December 2, 2020/in Interviews, Interviews, Winter-Spring 2021 / Interviewed by Janet Rodriguez

think too many writers don’t do enough research about the business of writing. They focus so much on the craft, writing their books, polishing them up and then, they don’t know what to do. Also, the all-time end goal cannot be how to get published, but rather, how to stay published.[…]

Maggie Quart’s Guide to Unpopularity

December 2, 2020/in Winter-Spring 2021, Writing For Young People, Writing for Young People / Charlie Penny

Sometimes we’d be sitting on the floor, with our backs against the wall and our hands would get so close that our pinkies would touch. When that happened, it was like my body received an infusion of electricity and I’d have enough energy to run a marathon three times over. […]

Four Short Stories From Soulfood Equatoriale

December 2, 2020/in Gabo, Gabo, Winter-Spring 2021 / Léonora Miano, translated by Margaret Morrison

The sap of the plantains stains your clothes, hard to get them clean afterwards. During the preparations, the rain continues to fall. You open the kitchen window. The smell of wet earth mingles with that of the fritters or the plantains cut into thin slices before being plunged in hot oil.[…]

The Pineapple Metaphor: Expanding the Narrative

December 1, 2020/in Art, Art, Winter-Spring 2021 / April Fitzpatrick

As a Black woman from Mississippi, my cultural roots have imposed a powerful influence on my art process.

She is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Fine art, I think, worthy of the masters; no, better than the masters. Da Vinci couldn’t have painted her better than this traffic light. Donatello would’ve messed up her nose. Botticelli doesn’t even bear mentioning.[…]

November 28, 2020/in Flash Prose, Flash Prose, Winter-Spring 2021 / Connie Pertuz-Meza

I remember a damp paper towel in my hand, a dusty rose-colored lampshade on my night table, and the sun streaming through the windows of my bedroom.

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.
