Editor’s Note

From fiction exploring the erasures of adulthood to poems about being silenced, we were floored by the nominations to our Redacted writing challenge in March. Our shortlist recognizes the pieces that lingered in our brains long after the submission window closed. Keep eye out for our finalists next week!

“And I Ain’t Asked Much Since” by Ink Cassell

Poetry:

“The New Art, Fire” by Tyler Barton

“The Song That Didn’t Sell” by Desiree Cooper
