Flying Fish It was supposed to be romantic, this hike along the high bluffs of the St. Croix river, a celebration of our engagement, a picnic of wine and cheese, marking the beginning of our lives together, a life with dogs and kids, bills and mortgages, birthdays and anniversaries, fights and make-up sex, of skinned knees and first […]

FIRE SONNET (from YOUR WILDERNESS) You can’t be alarmed ‘cause you’re too busy being on fire.

You know what’s hard? Launching a literary magazine. We’ve been going through some growth spurts these past several months, trying to figure out how to maintain a journal while also living our normal lives. For a few moments, it looked like Atlas and Alice was destined for a “one and done” lifespan, but I’m glad to say […]

“I’ve never held the nude of a spoon”, this is how Ian Bodkin’s poem Naked Before the Dead starts. Ian’s poem is surprising, funny, contemplative. Characters like Destiny, Catullus, and dogs stealing our spotlight emerge in and out of the poem with incredible dexterity . It is a wonderful read. Here is a short excerpt […]
