2020 was a somewhat bad year – with all its bits of goodness too, but bad because we couldn’t create so many issues. However, we’re trying to make it up as we move ahead, and here’s Issue 06 to begin with: https://t.co/kgscAv9bRU
Thanks to @kat_devitt & @LisaSticePoet!

@wordpressdotcom didn’t help too much either because the new Block editor is quite bulky. So, our next issues will be exclusively as a PDF, with Issue 07 being a Young Writers’ Issue. We’ve got more to announce, but you must enjoy pieces by @RBel2 and others for the while!

@DinaLRelles We publish flash CNF 🤗

We’ve always loved @RBel2’s ekphrastic poems on ⁦@visual_verse, and here’s one more that we’re in love with:

⁩”We longingly press our hands against gasp-clouded glass.
Collectively horrified.
Splintered in so many solitudes.”

@WordPress have made quite a few things tough with their new block editor so we will be doing our next issues in PDFs. Also, some have asked for our PDFs at different times since B+I was born, so it’s a yayyy!

@KomarHanna Hey Hanna, thank you so much! Means a lot, always! 😇

[Bold + Italic @boldplusitalic]

Third one for Issue 06: John Dorroh's "Arthritis"
"Next April, perhaps, when the sun returns and brings new blooms, a portion oil from heaven, an elixir to rejuvenate stiff muscles"
#poetry, with #artwork by Riccardo Mirarchi https://t.co/yjzplvCLLs

Touching majorly the notes of philosophy, humour and nostalgia, @RussJonesWrites's new collection deserves every bit of praise for all it slowly, gradually achieves page by page. https://t.co/TVJoOxVVLc

[Bold + Italic @boldplusitalic]

Second one for Issue 06: Zach Murphy's "Sierra to the Extreme!"
"The weight of silence was strong enough to shatter mountains.
Every time I see a snowflake, I think of her."
