  • Epithalamion by Rebecca Lehmann

  • Harm’s Way by Karen Hays

    1.

    For years I said nothing.

    Silent, I paid close attention to the words that others used.

    I heard writers of nonfiction quote the opening sentence of Joan Didion’s essay “The White Album”: “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”

    I heard writers and readers of all genres say that stories foster empathy. . . .

  • Hammer & File by Taylor Lannamann

    The January that William fell down—1968—his father had plugged Christmas lights one strand into the next and laid them circular-wise around the banks of the skating pond immediately behind their house. . . .

  • I found a bottle at the bottom of the ocean by Alicia Elkort & Jennifer Givhan

     

    Sealed with obsidian & red beryl

    I could see a child inside

     

    who dazzled the bottle beast &

    I was afraid to release her

      . . .
