Cover artist Aris Moore won my imagination with this Spring/Summer 2023 cover image for Black Warrior Review: “Her work explores contradictions of strength and vulnerability, and attraction and repulsion, to create beings that are simultaneously awkward and unbelievable, yet familiar.”
From the SFSU Dept. of Creative Writing, Fourteen Hills Issue 29 (2023) features “Lost in the Grandeur” by Jewel Rodriguez.
Room issue 46.2 features their 2022 contest winners for short forms, fiction, poetry, CNF, and cover art. This seemingly whimsical work by semillites hernández velasco, Ghost No More, is from a poignant series of self-portraits exploring the artist’s demand for visibility while not being “ready to be fully seen.”
