Michael Alcée’s “Stalking the Linda Pastan Poem” reflects on the echoes of poetic influence, tracing how one voice leads us into our own. It’s both homage and exploration — a meditation on lineage, art, and the poems that shape us.

What does it mean to be hired for your face?

In San Antonio Review, Eric Flanagan and Sam Voutas discuss their graphic novel White Faced Lies — a story rooted in the bizarre world of “face jobs” in China, where white foreigners are paid to pose as executives to lend companies prestige.

Heath Dollar’s “The Ones That Love You” dives into the heart of a family divided by politics, love, and history. The story wrestles with the contradictions of loyalty, ideology, and what it means to love — and be loved — across irreconcilable divides.

In Harold Whit Williams’s sharp and darkly funny short story “Noble Rages,” we sit inside a cramped college radio booth as Stuart Sutcliffe, the last surviving member of his band, defends a life devoted to #art over #commerce.

⚖️ What happens when a nation forgets the ethical foundations of its own survival?

In John Bonanni’s searing essay “Death of a Republic,” he charts the 21st century’s slide into self-absorption, rage, and cultural decay.

✨ “In Jefferson Parish, the Siren ruled the waters, the Gown Men ruled the land — and everyone knew their place.” ✨

John Bonanni’s “Gown, Men, and the Siren” braids folklore, superstition, and lived history into a story of survival, injustice, and the unyielding search for freedom.

Inside the Yale Peabody’s ornithology lab, Elaina Foley asks what “care” means when preservation smells like power. Refusing sterile distance, she turns toward the tender, unruly work of decay—an ethics that lets the “lively dead” transform our relations with the more-than-human.
