that the collection
reads so beautifully as
a love letter that
spans all of
time."

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview L.F. Khouri for this issue. His story "The Map That Leads Nowhere" is a breathtaking piece of flash, and every word of every answer in his interview felt like a masterclass. Go check it out!

Poster with the words “Editor Interview, "What are you most looking forward to as dogyard mag grows as a literary journal?"
I know there are so many writers out there who I would be a massive fan of if I could just get ahold of their work. Getting published is a hard road, so knowing that I have the opportunity to read and become a fan of writers who I might never have golten the chance to otherwise is thrilling!”

In the debut of the #boneyard, Emily McKenna gives insight to the #Keats poem “Ode to a Nightingale.” Join us as we dig through the classics and see what we can learn!

#dogyard is ready for your work! We accept #poetry, #fiction, #art, #cnf, #essay, and more!

Photo with painting of a man in the woods, deep in thought. There is another photo of a girl smiling in front of plants and glasses on her head. The text says The Boneyard with a quote, "This text is a work of contrasts; the old style meets the new, nature meets his scientific background, and the efforts of the nightingale contrast with the narrator's own. As for style, writing with a Shakespearean quatrain and Petrarchan sestet creates an air of familiarity.”

Poster featuring the cover of CD Eskilson's book, Scream/Queen, and a dog. The photo's text details a section of the book, "“...Scream/Queen’s horror concept is both playful and powerful... Eskilson makes it clear in their writing that there is more to the stories of all things we are told go bump in the night, redeeming monsters and redirecting horror tropes which have historically demonized trans experiences, while also creating a collection of poems that allows for the celebration of community, love, survival, and self...” -Lillian Durr"
