Fascinated by mythology? Ioanna Papadopoulou’s “Winter Harvest” tells the story of Demeter and Persephone with unflinching rawness, while “The Castaway and the Witch” is a dream-like journey into myth and romance.

Covers of Winter Harvest and The Castaway and the Witch with the caption 'If you love... mythology'

👀July 2026 Poetry👀 "Wintering Grounds" is a poem by @brokenswanquill.bsky.social about the sorrow that comes with unbridgeable distance and the unsettled ache of whatever love might remain Read it here: havenspec.com/poetry/winte...

Excerpt of the poem Wintering Grounds by Anna Madden. The text reads:

You mapped out the flight
after the bathroom flooded.
The pipes’ veins across a leaf,
frozen until bursting.

A migration to escape our winter,
I’d thought while tracing contrails skyward.

The cover art is titled "Finally, some sleep" and is by Caleb Worcester. It features an astronaut lying comfortably on a cloud high above the lights of a city.

"Scoop" was written for the Apparition Lit flash contest theme Ice Cream but found the perfect home at small wonders. I love dystopian stories, and always have. Everyone who reads this one tells me how sad it is. smallwondersmag.com/...

Publication day is always a spark of joy. Thank you @keychild.bsky.social! "A Snapdragon's Kiss" was written for a novella I've been working on. There's lots of nature magic (and of course trees 🌲🌳🪾) "Riverlord" and "How the Wind and Rain Were Separated" are about love, and the falling from it.
