Living in Maine, fall brings cool weather and a sweet crispness to the air. It is a time of apple picking and harvest. We excitedly wear our layers, even before the temperature has dropped. For me, the lengthening night reminds me of the mysteries, fear and power.
With great pleasure, we read poetry, fiction and nonfiction submitted by writers from all over the world. It is never easy to narrow down the selections. What drew our editors to these six works was how they surprised us with their fierceness.
And now, the most important part: the stories! Please enjoy the wonderful work of these writers and share!
