Dear Reader,

June 2025 - Issue 3

A moment for June,

I hope this month has treated you gently. Summer has a way of stirring things up. I know many of us have been moving through intense days. If things have been hectic, I hope you’ve found a small window to catch your breath and take in any beauty that persists through the haze of 2025.

I typically send one email a month: our monthly recap of news/updates, upcoming community events; as well as, links to recently published poems, essays, and recommended reads. If you’re a new subscriber, then welcome to your first short-stack, if you’re a longtime reader and/or paid contributor, please know that your support truly fuels my work, so thank you.

Exciting News!

1. We begin a Choose Your Own Adventure Series next month, it’s a community event, a bit of an escape, and fun! The sections will be posted every Tuesday, the first one on July 1st, and voting will be active for 1 week. Then we will continue in the same format for nearly 3 months.
