Issue 07

Featuring the work of over 50+ writers and artists, reigning from Portland and beyond, this publication contains a variety of poems, short fiction, photography and more.

John McDonald, Senior Lecturer with University of Portland states, "There is a great abundance of wonder, pleasure, celebration, strength, terror, loss, joy, and play in this remarkable collection of poems, stories, essays, and visual arts."

Kim Ellingson's poem found, "Stone Fruit" reads,"All the ways in which a woman / can separate from her center - a pit / plucked from overripe flesh. The self / she created before: an erasure."

Katherine Threat's poem "Warfare, Wisdom, Courage and Craft" reads, "Like the abortion tales told to me in the summer heat over ice cream long melted and sticking in my nail beds...and the collections of journals with pages never opened in daylight. Wisdom is the feeling of subwoofer-enhanced bass rolling under my ribcage on shitty carpet floor."
