This month, we introduce “Voices on Palestine,” an e-book that collects some of the work about Palestine published in @GuernicaMag since 2010, with appreciation for the writers who risked so much to witness. Cover art by Alexandra Sophia Handal. https://t.co/bCHS4DOkgT

This was the life they had worked so hard for. All those years of education and sacrifice were paying off, finally, with a secure and comfortable life doing work that they loved. I love these essays being released with @GraceLP's book! Check out this one in @GuernicaMag!

“Like plastic that flung itself / into a fire, I think I am weeping.” Past @israology's four-line poem “Glaze” haunts the questions, what do we choose, & how do we live with what we witness? https://t.co/1QAW7GWXT8

“And if I could, Mom, I’d return Ana to my warm, warm womb, & I’d carry her forever in this sick body of mine, just so I wouldn’t have to hurt you to get my hands on the key to an ossuary.” New fiction by Itamar Vieira Junior, translated by Johnny Lorenz. https://t.co/R6fnpy6t7F

In Israel, a translator tries to tread the line of empathy. “There is a limit to which the human soul can stomach atrocities and keep going,” @joannachen1 writes in her essay “From the Edges of a Broken World.” https://t.co/J2s3mpaGPA

For the Itamar Vieira Junior fans, here's an extra treat to go with this story in @GuernicaMag—an interview conducted by Ana Laura Malmaceda. https://t.co/sds5BW0rLF

Itamar Vieira Junior, whose novel Crooked Plow was published this summer in Johnny Lorenz’s translation, speaks with Ana Laura Malmaceda about land justice and the legacies of colonialism in Brazil.
Our March issue of @GuernicaMag is here! I'm pleased to be publishing two dynamic stories. The great Itamar Vieira Junior's "Black Wing Dragging Across the Sand," in marvelous translation by Johnny Lorenz, is a dynamic, surprising Clarice Lispector homage

"The Smoke of the Land Went Up," by Andrew Cominelli, is dystopic, fast-paced, and sexually charged. It is the first story I've ever read about a New Orleans pedicab driver - which made sense when I found out that Andrew is a New Orleans pedicab driver!

My short story "The Smoke of the Land Went Up" is in @GuernicaMag today. It's got sex, drugs, pedicabbing, a landscaping convention, and lots of dread. Huge thanks to editors @autumn_watts, @adalva, and Ishita Marwah for getting this out into the world. https://t.co/KQbyQE62iQ

Itamar Vieira Junior, in translation by Johnny Lorenz, writes in an almost literary pointilism, sprinting through time, about mothers & daughters & one lost baby girl. In our Spotlights series, @jendayi_bf's short story's monsters challenge a small community in Texas.

In the latest of our postcard series on climate change, @dtrilling arrives at another kind of edge — a river run dry on the border of Kazakhstan & Uzbekistan. In @ajcomjr’s “The Smoke Went Up,”pedicab driver brooks depression & hitches along with tourists in New Orleans pedicab.

Hassan's poem is in conversation with work from @joannachen1, a volunteer with Road to Recovery, a nonprofit that brings Palestinian children with urgent medical needs to & from Israeli hospitals. Chen's essay is a meditation on (some of) what forging that life requires.

I am in awe of what @OldManLumans can do in the space of a story. He receives his mail in Berlin, but he's one of America's finest fiction writers. Case in point, his story "The Jaws of Life," recently published in @GuernicaMag. https://t.co/9SFMNYCGJ6
