It was a pendulum September, and for thirty days I swung between discomfort and inspiration. This time around, New York was a vat of crackling oil; its energy scalding my ambitions, then renewing my vigor.
Dear October,
How are you my old friend? We have only met twenty six times, but I feel like I have known you much longer. In toast to our rich history I offer the following gifts:
-
• An interview with author Jeffrey Rotter
• The music of Darrick Thompson
• New stories from Julie Innis and Renee Evans
• A dynamic collection of work from artist KS Rives
• A stirring letter written by James Feller
• Poems that both empty and fill
• And much more.
Until next time,
Benjamin Evans
