Today is Saturday. Have some #freshmoss for your wounds in the form of short fiction by @iandenning85 of @PacificaReview and @HugoHouse.

Saturday again.

You ever feel like a cut-up beet lying in the middle of the road? "An instrument blunt and battered"?

If so, try #freshmoss from poet Juleen Eun Son Johnson #northwestwriters

Our poetry month continues, with #freshmoss three times each week.

Today& #39;s offering, by @sslonewriter, is a poem called "this is the beneath".

We give thanks for all the writers and creators who are contributing light and meaning in this dark time.

As we move through our Vol 4 #freshmoss, somehow each day& #39;s poem seems to bring a new resonance to the experiences of this challenging time.

Today& #39;s poem is by @brownbrandonj.

O, tired love . . .

"Oh humanity:
what is more overrated than the human
heart? Confound me. I am speaking
for the clover. The grass."

Saturday. #freshmoss. @ChelsDingman. A dose of the outdoors feels good in times like these.

Today our #freshmoss poem is "Quantifiable", a deep examination of the human body by @pigeongirlsgot.

The facts of our bodies are so precious and so easily mis-used.

In today& #39;s #freshmoss, fiction by Stephanie Wong Ken, a single woman goes to Mexico.

"He’d loved the still humidity on the body first thing in the morning, the cobalt tiles, the low-hanging fruit, the bats asleep in the trees."

"People were looking forward to the eclipse the way teenagers look forward to losing their virginities."

Wow remember 2017?? We were so young then. Today& #39;s #freshmoss, by @nvillaco, comes in the form of an essay on belief, wonder, and the eclipse. Enjoy!
