Just so we are clear the Short Vine Literary Journal will continue to publish diverse voices, empower equity, and promote inclusivity. Regardless of what our University Administrators decide is worth supporting, we will not abandon our community and principles. We will not comply in advance.

There are still leaders in this country standing up for what’s right. Use this as an example—when people in power want to push you out of the way and erase you, plant your feet and tell them “I’m not going anywhere.”

How do you get an agent? Is there money in this? Is there a God? Is this a projection of my fear that I will die alone and in panic so my plan is just to scream as loud as I can and call it Art?
