Winter 2023 Issue is Live
by Barbara Westwood Diehl
A wintry mix of rain and snow outside my window, and a wintry mix of poems and prose inside. Some slippery forms alongside the traditional. A mingling of moods. Welcome to our winter 2023 issue.
Congratulations to our winter contest winners:
Kelly Weber – Prose Poem
Katie M. Zeigler – Flash Fiction
Claire Walla – Flash Creative Nonfiction
And special thanks to our final judge, Destiny O. Birdsong.
We hope that you enjoy these short works as well as poems by Deborah Allbritain, Sara Eddy, Reuben Gelley Newman, Grace, Aiden Heung, Leah Mell, C. Mikal Oness, and Devin S. Turk; fiction by James Gyure, Kirk Vanderbeek, and Frank Reilly; and creative nonfiction by Charlene Logan.
This is a return trip for Sara Eddy and James Gyure. We’re happy to have them back.
We open our Submittable doors for poems, short stories, and creative nonfiction on February 1. And we’ll announce our summer contest soon after.
Thank you for reading and supporting the work of writers!
