First up: @elisehyrak's "Tomatoes."
This essay carries the reader to a place, and then sinks us into that place with food--the way food manages to bind us to each other and to a memory in the very best way.
I'm thrilled to have supped with E in France. http://carte-blanche.org/articles/tomatoes/

I often know within the first paragraph if I want to publish an essay. @teresempierre's "The Big Comb" got me with the first sentence, the second, the third, and all the way through to the end.
It's an essay with power. Read it. http://carte-blanche.org/articles/the-big-comb/

And if you aren't following @teresempierre and @JennyHeijun's Book Looks series, you'd better fix that.

The last CNF piece in issue #38 is Emily Townsend's "The Emergency Exit Is Closed: Find Another Way Out." It might be too close to home for some of us. For others, it might be exactly what we need. http://carte-blanche.org/articles/emergency-exit-closed-find-another-way/
I hope you enjoy the CNF I've curated for this issue.
I know that each of these essays have challenged me, have transported me, have asked me to see the world a little differently, and in doing so, I'm a better human than I was before reading them.
