My father passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly while I was preparing to launch this issue and while he wasn’t a big literary journal guy, he always supported my creative endeavors. I’d like to think he’d be proud of me for pushing forward and getting this work into the world.
We’re thrilled to share our new issue with you today and would love to see word rippling across this space: louisville.edu/miraclemonocle
