Today’s featured piece from Issue 1 is a micro called “Peeling Apples” by Mei Wen. This was one of the first pieces we accepted!
We loved the objective correlative (as Ann Hood would say) of the apple and the gut-punch of the final line.

“Wildflowers Three” has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. To say I’m thrilled is an understatement. I’m on the floor, I’m in the clouds. Thank you to the editors @coachellareview for believing in my work. This one’s for you, Mom.🤍

I love reading the opening of a story and knowing immediately that I can trust it. It's rare and you can recognize it by its cadence and confidence; it pulls you in close, unafraid to be scrutinized, welcoming you to lean on it every which way without fear of it breaking.

His wanting only made him want more.
Soon it was countries, and then it was trade.
The wanting infected the earth.
