We're so happy to announce that we've published the first stories of the FOLIO winter issue, "Turncoat" by Lori Williams and "Void Patterns" by Matthew Healy! Check them out on the front page of our website!
FOLIO is open for submission for Volume 41: In-Between! Have work that's hard to define? Liminal? About being stuck in the middle? We want to see it!

We accept fiction! We accept non-fiction! Poetry! Art! We'll even accept a picture of your cat (we've done it before)! If it has artistic or literary merit, we want to see it!
This beautiful photograph, "Reflections of My Brothers," was submitted by one Willy Conley. We like Willy Conley. We think that Willy Conley is very cool. And on October 1st, we want YOU to be like Willy Conley and submit your work to us at FOLIO!

Experimental and dynamic, Ismail Yusuf Olumoh's "The Arithmetic of the People Tested by the Man of their Tongue" is both timely and timeless, given weight by our state of affairs.

"If conservas are going to liberate us from our own labor, it must happen within the clear-eyed context of someone else’s. And yet, in the moment of truth, it was easier for me to admire the salted fish than the hands holding the salt." - Kristin Idaszak
