My answers to two questions from Cathy Ulrich about my story "Prom." Hard to put into words how passionately I feel about these issues. All we have to do is love each other, people. It's that simple. milkcandyreview.home.blog

Still the undisputed champion of spending 45ish minutes looking for a place to submit only to ultimately submit nowhere.

Bertolt Brecht was a German playwright and poet who fled Nazi Germany in the 1930's. In different translations, this poem's title is sometimes "To Those Born After" and "wrongdoing" is often "misdeeds" or "horrors." No matter how it's translated, I feel this deep in my bones.

Our colleagues at Gettysburg Review have received some devastating news. It’s alarming for the literary community as a whole, & the SLM fam encourages everyone to voice their thoughts to the university that defunded them. All our voices matter! More info in this pic (thx @bullcitypress.bsky.social!)
Dear Friends, Contributors, Subscribers, & Supporters of Literature,
After 35 years of editorial and publishing excellence, the president of Gettysburg College has decided to end the Gettysburg Review. Lauren & I are understandably devastated. We have been offered a rationale for this decision, but it's frankly one that neither Lauren nor I understand or accept. It was made clear to us that they know little about who we are, what we do, and what our value is, and could be, to the Gettysburg College campus. 
We encourage you to reach out to the college’s president, Bob Iuliano, and provost, Jamila Bookwalla. Tell them what you think of this decision & the merits of publishing great literature.

(717)337-6010
jbookwal@gettysburg.edu
(717)337-6820
...
We would love to hear about what the Gettysburg Review has meant to you. Please send condolences, anecdotes, and other stray and helpful thoughts to Lauren & me, and if we can, we will share them...
Mark Drew, Editor
