Site update: we have 250 posts left to set of 1,000 stories, poems, essays, reviews, columns. The new site is designed; we are backfilling. Thanks for your patience. It’s a better site. We hope to relaunch early summer. We’ll be contacting each contributor with their piece(s).

Philip Larkin on style

[Christina Tudor-Sideri @dreamsofbeing_]

I will die before you; you will die before me—another way of saying that love reaches the other only through a distance it cannot abolish.

@Ellipsis_Zine The locally-raised chicken breasts I grilled two nights ago were sublime. My new cat turns 1-year-old this month. I think there will be rain this coming Saturday.

Freud considered flash fiction the scribbling man’s palliative measure. Lacan saw it as a phallus too small to satisfy the Mother that is literature

The greatest drug, writing.

[D.T. Robbins @dt_robbins]

The Yurok spearheaded the largest dam removal in U.S. history, dismantling four dams on the Klamath River. It restored more than 400 miles of salmon habitat, but the formerly submerged land needed to be restored. They planted millions of native plants & these are the results

[HAD @havehadhavehad]

amazing new one today from @bobbyswebsite!

"...then move that hand
out and up
away from your heart
and as you move
this hand out and up
spread your fingers apart
like you are throwing
what you grabbed
from your heart
straight up to the heavens."
