Sustaining an independent, nonprofit literary magazine in the American South is a formidable endeavor. So, when the @WhitingFdn judges acknowledge our unwavering commitment to capturing the region's multi-layered exuberance and intellectual vigor, it means the world!

This season’s issue of @oxfordamerican includes a brave and moving prose poem from @ejjalloul. I will be thinking about those “compound fractures, bright white and bleeding” for days.

I started this poem in 2019 in workshop with @howtopreserve. Then I workshopped it with @ABDailey and @CoreyGins11 last summer. I’m so proud of this and so grateful for all the help getting it homed. Thank you, friends, thank you American Literary Review. <3

[Ashley Dailey @ABDailey]

@ejjalloul @howtopreserve @CoreyGins11 So proud for you! This poem is a fierce one. So grateful to be one of your early readers!! ❤️

The thinner tree was cut years ago and the big one has been holding and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn.
