Penguin Classic

By Alex Madison

…a finger across Josie’s cheek. “The hammock,” Josie said. “I fell asleep.” “Where’s Mia?” Neil said. Bryce was now unfurling him toward the wall, and he turned his chin to Josie as he neared the refrigerator and then as Bryce pulled him close. “I’m not sure. I was reading all afternoon.” Her mom stopped moving. “All afternoon? Since we left?”… [Read More]

Land of the Wounded: A Girl in the VA

By Maria Terrone

…kind of war with its own casualties raged at home that summer: riots spreading from city to city, domestic combat zones that led to the deployment of 1,700 army troops in Newark and Detroit. Before long, the papers were reporting those dead and wounded, too. For the two months I worked at the VA, I didn’t have a single exchange… [Read More]

A Review of Ryan Sallans’ “Transforming Manhood”

By Witness Magazine

…I’ve been reading a lot about queer futurism and potentiality lately. Have you read or heard of the book Cruising Utopia ? I’ve just started reading it, but the title really summarizes it. It’s imagining the potential of a queer future. One in which there is flourishing rather than resistance. I see your work as future focused. I think a… [Read More]

The Kristian Vang Fan Club

By John Tait

…to James Pelish, sends it off before hurrying to his graduate seminar, grabbing some notes for an abandoned paper on Every Man In His Humour on his way. The class goes about as expected.

Shadow Texts

By Mike Smith

…another way I might preserve for our children something of Emily’s voice in the emails sent to classmates from high school, college, and graduate school. Actually, it has been good for me as well. Reading through these saved messages has made me realize just how much of her voice I miss. As her health worsened over those four and a… [Read More]

Unstuck

By Stephanie Reents

…had the patience for caesura, compression, broken lines. It was weird, now that she thought of it, but she’d stopped reading poetry completely after getting stuck in a box canyon in southern Utah. She couldn’t concentrate. That was nine months ago. To say she’d almost been stuck wasn’t quite accurate. She’d been stuck. She was leading the way on a… [Read More]

Eulogy for an Aging Book Guy

By Tim Eberle

…conversations with the sole intention of ram-rodding that particular phrase down the unfortunate throat of anyone whom I happened to be engaged with, in what was, up to that point, casual conversation: “So, are you reading anything these days? No? Me? Well, me—lately I’ve been reading this incredible writer named Philip Roth and… I don’t know… I just feel like… [Read More]

Self–portrait as a Gene Sequence

If this transmission should find you now continents removed from my last confirmed location, now in your era of no–go glaciers where your people tinder the jungle and marsh–make their tundra and you’re reading this there on your screen porch in the Tropic of Glasgow where you awoke this morning to what seemed at first a loon beneath your pillow… [Read More]

Hostage

By Michael Pearce

…went back to his apartment. At four-thirty he woke up to the sound of white noise coming from the TV. He turned off the set and stumbled into the bedroom, took off his clothes, and climbed into bed. He felt a small, slightly oily object in the bed. Switching on his reading light, he threw back the covers and found… [Read More]
