The Beast

November 14, 2017September 15, 2018 Julie Anderson

Sunglass Hut

November 14, 2017October 13, 2018 Valerie Vaughn

Things to Tell My Daughter

November 13, 2017September 13, 2018 Lidy Wilks

Be a witch. Oppose everything you see, read and hear strummed up as fact and scavenge for truth. Be a witch. Protect your mind and your body. Resist those who destroy what they fail to understand. Be a witch. Embrace your inner goddess, possess her shamelessly. Be brave and bold. Read more

The New

November 7, 2017October 13, 2018 Margret Avery

There is no hurry to bring in the fury of what life will end or begin for you. The beginning will always feel so new, while the pain of ending anything needs the rejoicing of what life will bring to the new chapter – the new that let go of Read more

Time’s Signature

November 4, 2017October 13, 2018 C. Streetlights

The words of those around me, I know, are shallow still for all their false depth of character. The words I keep from me, I know, are deeply held on shallow shelves for easy reach. I crave to only ever hear my voice, whispering in the life I dance. May Read more

Panties Be Gone

November 2, 2017October 13, 2018 Susan P. Blevins
