Excerpt from Issue 309 (Autumn 2026)
"close/d" by Angelic Goldsky
Content note: includes queer slurs

when the group chat asks/ if I would rather go to the sauna/ where they 
don’t separate by “sex”/ I pause/ want to say/ I am okay with either/ up 
to you/ I am used to shaving my forests down/ waxing my rainbows/ 
rounding my back/ wearing an old smile/ on top of an older sliver/

Excerpt from Issue 309 (Autumn 2026)
"Clawed Back" by Patti-Kay Hamilton
Winner of the 2026 Creative Nonfiction Prize

The claw sticks up through the purple blooms. Sharp, black talons thrust out, stretched toward the sky. I peek beneath the flowers and find a raven curled around the base of the stems. Black feathers on black dirt, so it isn’t visible at first glance. The petunias cascade back over the body when I jerk my arm back.
