So sad to hear this news, but so grateful for the years we had with @MWGothic, which first published my essay "Driftless," and in a very real way helped clear the path toward my book. To my friends @robhollywood & @pfallerj, thank you for giving our Midwestern words a home.

Very sad news. I had one of my first short stories published here.

Seems their catalogue will be available until the end of the year. I encourage you to check out this literary journal and press. They were doing important work.

I recommend the novels of @eshonkwiler.
