Issue 7, our final issue, is an abundant farewell, offering deeply soulful and beautifully crafted writing. Thank you for sending us your writing over the years and reading with us. It's been a joy. Make a wish. https://t.co/hXjQzpvNJU

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. This was her bio:

"Renée Macklin is from Colorado Springs, Colorado and is studying Creative Writing at ODU. Her poetry has been published in Metrosphere and Coronado Literary Review, and she currently co-hosts a podcast with her husband, comedian Tim Macklin. When she is not writing, reading, or talking about writing, she has movie marathons and makes messy art with her daughter and two sons."

(People are posting the wrong woman's photo, the red lipstick photo is not her. This is Renee, from her social media accounts.)

This hybrid piece in @LiteraryRuby is really, I think, about my alcoholism. I didn’t know that when I wrote it or even when I submitted it.

I want to say, for the record: I am 8 months sober next week. Maybe the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life.

@AFB16 That’s meaningful and powerful, Allison. Congratulations on all the work you’re doing. Thank you for sending RUBY this powerful writing. 🌻

This year I've written blurbs, a month-long class, product reviews & articles and have read many, many submissions. I haven't done a lot of actual writing. Having a nomination from one of my favorite journals means so much. Look at that wonderful list of my fellow nominees too!😍
