Obviously I have a soft spot for @JDVjournal because they published me last spring, but it must be said that every single issue they put out is a joy to look at.
Pretty excited about this upcoming issue of @JDVjournal Cover by Barbara Brocato, poetry by @BMcGrewvy and @GHuteson , an excerpt from the new play by @JcScharl (y’all, it’s phenomenal), and the extraordinary keynote @MrsKatyCarl delivered at our fest in May.
