The Fiddlehead is sharing a preview of "The Orange I Promised," a poem that will appear in our fall issue but which needs to be read now. It is a poem of witness, addressing the genocide in Gaza from Gaza itself, where Maryam Hasanat survives, writes and parents.

"Faultline" by Ariadne Asho
Winner of The Fiddlehead's 2025 Fiction Contest

The car stopped at a field full of houses. Houses like autumn squash. Houses like spiral-rolled bales of hay. 

Aoife scuffed across the earthy corduroy of the back seat, against wide wales that trapped within them cracker crumbs, cat-fur strands, rustcoloured pine needles. Her sister Lilou — reedy, blondie Lilou — gamboled out the other side, to face the field and a muddy ditch of clay and granite.
