Hole in the Wall
In Adelie O. Condra’s latest fiction, “Hole in the Wall,” an unexpected familial obligation forces two siblings to navigate their past trauma, guilt, and emotional wreckage. Marissa’s tumultuous past collides with present responsibilities, while her brother John struggles with the weight of their shared history. As walls crumble both metaphorically and literally, the story delves into the complexities of familial relationships and the profound impact of past traumas on present-day decisions.
Questions for a Horse that Might be God
Continuing our exploration into Alison Bell Miller’s upcoming collection, “blink,” today we look at, “Questions for a Horse that Might be God.” In this poem, the narrator finds herself engaged in conversation with a horse whose enigmatic presence challenges the very fabric of her reality. In a dialogue of touch, perception, and existential curiosity, every question unravels layers of connection with the majestic creature that may hold secrets both earthly and transcendent.
The Tiny Head of St. Agnes
In the latest fiction by Shannon Viola, faith and devotion are tested in the heart of Rome when the protagonist’s quest to commune with St. Agnes takes an unexpected turn after a relic forces her to confront her beliefs and place in the world.
