Issue 11 Infographic

Journal returned to normal submission numbers with about 1,430 split between fiction and poetry.

For the first time, sci-fi and anarchist genres made up an equal number of published works.

We double-dip into the poetic mind of Mark Dimaisip, explore some wholesome space-love with
