Winging It by Lee Fraser
Striking both visually and internally, this piece uses enjambment beautifully to mirror its themes of deconstruction and metamorphosis. It’s unique and raw, exploring the inescapable transformation that comes with parenthood.
Read it now in Issue 5.

I wrote this story in a mood during summer. The heat, the crowds, the emotional stuff that happens when we feel caged & then autumn comes along & changes everything.
So happy to be published with Underbelly Press. Here it is.

Thrilled to be an Underbelly barnacle on this lush thing. Autumnal melancholia lies within both from super talented folk I know, and will for sure get to know. Plus, a niche comfort/small victory from me!

Well, it would have been Mum's 70th birthday party today, so it's fitting the short story I wrote in aftermath of her passing has been published the same day! Page 55 if anyone is interested! Also, note @northodoxpress.bsky.social 's Amy on page 12, and John Storey on 34 😍

Don't miss out on this second run. We can't predict how long it will last 😅
