Picture this: Gandalf the Grey is standing beside you in a subway station. He tells you he’s the managing editor and poetry editor for a very cool, very chic lit journal. He wants you to submit. He also wants to tell you his recurring nightmares. What do you do next?

You wake up in bed. It’s too dark to see clearly, but the figures around you can’t be human. Wait. This is not your room. It’s FR’s fifth issue call. Its theme is NIGHTMARES—recurring, corporate, and ontological… nightmares? Damn, that’s convoluted. You wake up again, screaming.

We were totally wowed by the intensity of this story by Alyssa Blankenship. There’s so much to unpack here with desire and brutality… sometimes entanglement is best exemplified when things are pulled apart. 🥩

The movement of love in this story from Will Peatman is a reminder to us that, we, like the trees, grow together, entangled like roots, and need that connection to survive.

Today, we woke from a dream about girls and garments and Gods only to find a real horror in our waking life. Thanks so much for that Devan Murphy, hope these little terrors haunt our readers too 💤

Absolutely love works by and about mothers, and this poem from Sophia McGovern is a perfect illustration of mothers as artists (both in their craft and their children) 🩷

Earbuds you can’t undo. A string of lights you can’t separate. Like Ouroboros, let your poem eat its own tail. Let your short story fold into itself. What truth or image might become untangled? ~ Matt wants to read your micro!
