Hello! We have an instagram (@cannedmag) and will probably be starting an account on Mastodon as well. We've never been huge tweeters, but it's been a really lovely thing to be here with you. Hopefully we'll reconnect elsewhere! 🖤

We have a tradition of using @librarycongress historic photos for our issue covers, and the stunning Brünnhilde was our very first! See it here: cannedmagazine.com/issue-1 Absolutely hypnotized by this new angle. Long live Brünnhilde!

One of the most beloved free-to-use photos in the Library's collection is of Brünnhilde, for obvious reasons. We're happy to report that 2023 comes with a freshly digitized photograph of Brünnhilde from another angle. 😻 More of our free-to-use photos: go.loc.gov/mlqO50MhxCu

Takeaways? We're loving the influx of leftover-laced poetry and fiction, but very eager for some more CNF. Personal essays, reviews, recipes, dialogues, found items...we love curious takes on form! Give us a try! 🖤 (2/3)

After this piece, I took a break from creating new pieces and spent some time focused on revision. This eventually led to the piece “Rings” being picked up by the lovely @CannedMag. cannedmagazine.com/rings
