In September, we asked writers to send us prose and poetry about health, illness, and the gap between the care we need and what we can access. And, oh, you delivered. We received so many incredible submissions for Bad Medicine, and we’re pleased to share our shortlist, which recognizes the works that lingered with us long after reading. Check back soon for our finalists!
