This week online, we’re sharing a letter from Julia Elliott that was written as a tribute for a farewell celebration at Bard. As many of you know, Bard is ending our institutional support, and we are embarking on a new, independent chapter in challenging times.

The hill—for he stands on a hill—is shrubbed with conifers."

This isn't really apropos of anything, but there's a Kelly Link story I read in an influential issue of Conjunctions about thirteen years ago now that blew me away so thoroughly that I remember the experience fondly approximately twice a week. It's nice to enjoy moments of gratitude for such things.
For those who couldn’t join us for Kelly Link and Jedediah Berry’s reading, we’re sharing an interview with Kelly published in Conjunctions:67, Other Aliens. Topics include Star Trek, first contact, and other aspects of a literary life. 👽
