Delighted to be included in the new issue of @whaleroadreview.bsky.social Thank you @katiemanningpoet.bsky.social for giving “UnNamed” a good home.
Since I live in a place without colorful leaves or colder weather to make it feel like fall, our fall issues are my favorite harbingers of the season. This Fall 2025 issue is full of earnest language and surprising humor, and these pieces are packed with autumn.

By USP, I mean "unique selling point." For example, this from @emilyrinkema.bsky.social feels so original in terms of scenario: variantlit.com/the-interview/
As does this by @beekaekae.bsky.social: newflashfiction.com/revision/
And this from Ani Banerjee: swamp-pink.charleston.edu/featured/baby/

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.
