How do you live within your means when the means just aren’t there? For our Cost of Living challenge, we sought prose and poetry about money, need, and affording to live. We’re excited to announce our finalists, who took inventive and thought-provoking angles on this challenge theme. Their work spans poetry and experimental fiction, and we’re thrilled to publish these pieces at the end of August!
First place
“Money Trees” by Marnetta Singleton

“Hushes and Hums in Texas” by Zenobia
