" . . . Modernist aesthetics, figurative language and the like weren’t capable of holding my pathos, let alone rage." Today on the site, contributor and emerging writer Gavin Garza talks to us about two works that appear in issue 22.2. Link in thread.

"I raised you to believe you deserved to win, but you didn’t always listen when I taught you how." This week's miCRo, "Ace of Hearts" by Julia Hou, stages the multiplicity of grief as a final, intimate game between father and daughter. Link in thread.
