Welcome to the new year, friends. I hope it has arrived gently for you.

Here's what we've been up to so far:

We published Noelle McManus' review of A Fictional Inquiry by Daniele del Giudice, translated by Anne Milano Appel (New Vessel Press). Noelle previously reviewed Vladivostok Circus in our pages.

We also hosted the third day of our our solstice gathering with writing fromTom McAllister, Candice M. Kelsey, sid sibo, Kathleen Hellen, Philippa Bowe, Kathryn Edie, Chris Scott, Michael Colonnese, David Capps, and Sarah Starr Murphy. 

And the fourth day with work by Rachel M. Hollis, Bethany Bruno, Gabriella Navas, Caroline Clark, Vaughn M. Watson, Elodie Ashcroft, Gideon Leek, Kathryn Reese, Emil DeAndreis, Michael Hyde, and J.M.C. Kane.

If you haven't read them year, day one featured Rosaleen Lynch, Travis Flatt, Raymond Brunell, Eileen Frankel Tomarchio, Jane Yager, Talya Byrd, Carol M. Quinn, Tanya Kornilovich, and Joe Kalovac, and day one brought us Mizuki Yamamoto, Catherine Reedy, Kendra Cardin, Gareth E. Rees, Catherine Gammon, Erin Keane, Kleopatra Olympiou, Lleyton Michael Kane, and Warren Stoddard II.

I'm grateful to all of the writers who shared their words with us between the solstice and the new year for this project, and I hope you've enjoyed reading it in these short, dark days.

Thanks for reading,

Steve Himmer
