Fall 2018 Issue

As we roll from summer to fall, we proudly present eighteen writers from different areas of Northern California, from Sonoma to Santa Cruz, exploring the theme “Change,” from personal poems like Kaye Cleave’s “The Unbearable Music of Grief” to the global in “When Mother Dies” by Linda Enders. We are thrilled to have so much poetry in this issue, including the prose poem “Broken/Open” by Christopher P. DeLorenzo. Read about the change fire brings or how life can change on a dime when you have an accident, or the inevitable change that time brings. We are thrilled to share some wonderful writing with you.

Pull up a chair. Take a taste. Come join us. Life is so endlessly delicious. – Ruth Reichl
