Volume 3, Issue 9
“Later, B’s sister would infuse the words today is a gift, tomorrow a blessing with meaning. Earlier, he’d think of her as he set up camp, tying his shovel to a low-hanging twig, making a ground nest for himself and his camper van. He braked it in the stubble of a ferny tree’s shade and unloaded his gear. When the kids arrived, he shook hands and took note of their number: three. “Want a fourth?” he asked.”
-Lisa Levine, “At His Limit”
The Revisioners | Book Review
The heart of the novel is about motherhood and the lifeblood of determination that flows through it. In The Revisioners, mothers struggle. They wait for their missing sons to reappear, broken and dimmer of light. They mourn the cleaving of their families after their children marry and leave for better promises. They whisper incantations for the protection and secure future of their adult children and grandchildren, still innocent and full of childhood. They both lament and celebrate the life growing in their wombs. Mothers are a cup without a bottom, holding the pains of generations they have raised and long to raise, generations of their own blood and those who they wet nurse and later spite them.

Broken | Poetry
I remember Pa’s wheatstraw hair shooting/ out from under his denim cap/ as he leaned hard against the car window,/ the strap on his overalls broken,/ a spatter of blood on his neck and chin.

Interview with DW McKinney, TNSF 2020 Web Resident
Writing helps center me. It helps me process the difficult and helps release whatever I’m going through. I’m also encouraged by people who send me messages describing how an essay or story I wrote made them laugh or gave them comfort. There’s a sense of freedom. Writing is a process of healing that I try to extend beyond myself.
