@mcmansionhell there's @WASquarterly which exclusively publishes sports fiction/poems/essays

Hey @WASquarterly - Michigan won the National Championship! 2 days later; still in my feelings; needed to tell a friend; figured you'd understand.

[W&S Quarterly @WASquarterly]

While we take a breather, there won’t be a football issue next month. In the meantime, revisit some of our past issues! Watch football! Write more killer stuff that needs to be in the world (because it does!), and enjoy Luka’s greatness!

Closing out (finally!) our latest issue with an absolute banger from the great @madelinesneed!

“When I walk into Minute Maid Park or turn on the local broadcast, I’m still Madeline, but I’m also, more than anything, an Astros fan.”

In our latest, Claire Fennell explores the point of competition and what drives us to do the things we do:

“ I watched this game and listened as the color drained from the coach’s voice. As the loss is realized.”

Had an essay about football & my grandfather's death in @WASquarterly back in January. One of my favorite things I've ever written.

“The popularity of baseball is waning and I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. It’s a slow game, a game that is an experience. It’s a painting you look at that moves.”

You DO NOT want to miss this one from Derek JG Williams!

Sad news in the sports-lit world, but so thankful Grant kept it going for two awesome years!

[W&S Quarterly @WASquarterly]

From our latest, we’ve got THREE haikus from @mocando, and here’s the first!

“ Moonshot

fame stepped up to bat
humiliation eyed first
welcome to the Bigs”

You know what to do for the rest … 👇⚾️⬇️👇⚾️⬇️

From our latest issue, Christian Winn!

“The sun was oily grey.

Our temples drummed a displaced fear that only sleep can allay.”

[W&S Quarterly @WASquarterly]

“ How often—in sports or in life—do we see an injustice resolved with such dignity and charity on both sides?”

We’ve got a great one from Barbara Petoskey on Armando Gallaraga’s near-perfecto! CW for Tigers fans & their heartbreak 😂

“After venturing too close to death to ever use starvation as a coping mechanism again, Mia had sought out new reasons to stay alive;”

This one, from @ShannonFrostGre, grabs hold and doesn’t let go until well after you’ve finished reading it!

“…he counts and breathes in for a count of ten and when his breath is about to pop within him he releases it over a count of thirteen.”

From our latest, Peyton Popp delivers a stunner!
