2023 have landed! 💜 Proud to have contributed along with my fellow senior eds to this interview with Christine Schutt about writing a story in response to Mansfield’s “Bliss.” Such a rare treat to speak about two works of short fiction in detail.
long day of hauling bus tires and making ice cream custards so we are snoozing but Lazy Susan 3 is live now. formatting is best on desktop. hover/click windows/images for credit reveal. more soon. thank you.
I wish there was a cool loosely literary themed fully independent website that had weird articles written by rising authors that often spawned healthy chat areas where people could run their mouths on instead of doing it all on social media
To raise money for future print editions we will now be hosting parties. You are all invited to our home, a 500 sq ft 3 season Boy Scout cabin that we rent in Northwest Virginia.
Made a couple shirts. Bleach drawing / text and embroidered window outlined in glow-in-the-dark thread. 2 Lg & 1 Md for now.
30 bucks includes shipping, DM if you want one
Apologies if we do not answer your messages or leave you hanging. I am losing massive amounts of grey matter in my brain. I had to google “grapefruit”the other day because I forgot what it was.
