When We’re Dead

October 19, 2018October 19, 2018 Paakhi Bhatnagar

How long until I forget the sound of your voice- the sunlight seeping in through your bedroom window, you telling me you’d rather talk in the dark. Escaping to your terrace and taking pictures of the sunset, talking with the flowers blooming in the spring. Did you know I was Read more

Conform

October 18, 2018October 18, 2018 Emily Algar

Letters I Wrote to Muriel Rukeyser During My Title IX Investigation

October 17, 2018November 26, 2018 Lydia A. Cyrus

“Speak to me. / Take my hand. / What are you now? / I will tell you all. / I will conceal nothing.”   When I was three I broke my father’s nose with a bat. He said he never had migraines before that day, but now has them frequently. Read more

En Pointe

October 17, 2018October 17, 2018 E. Mason Kaye

The dancer’s feet adapt their shape to whatever position she bends them into, And I am reminded of how clumsy and awkward mine are – In comparison and on their own. The brightness of her spirit would put the sun to shame, Challenge even quasars to defend their astronomical power, Read more
