We are thrilled to bring you another issue this week with fabulous work by three talented women writers. Tori Popowich paints a vibrant picture of the moment when we realize our parents are just people in her creative nonfiction piece “Bees, Pirates and a Switch.” In her lovely short story “Bird”, SD Pitman takes us for a short and emotional journey with a little girl and the object of her desire. Finally, poet Ann Wallace describes the heartbreak of loss in her poem “Remains of a Marriage.”

We know you’re going to enjoy this work and we hope you will connect with these women on their social media and respective websites.

Until next time!
