It brings me such joy to have stories out on the same day in Southwest Review (the third oldest lit quarterly in the US) and Speculative Erotics/God's Cruel Joke (young queer experimental zine).

David Leo Rice on 'The Berlin Wall' | Harvard Magazine David Leo Rice explores the strange, unseen forces shaping our world.
