Exploring the world, one voice at a time.
updated 5 April 2019
short-form ecoliterature : fiction, poetry, essay, and travel narrative
As we reached our 10th anniversary (October 2018), our editorial focus honed in on one particular aspect of our mission to explore the world one voice at a time. This shift in editorial focus aligns with our new vision:
To become a sustainable archive of short-form literature that explores the intersection between humans and the landscape — including any/all of its inhabitants — inspiring readers, writers, editors, and researchers to engage with and speak for their local ecosystems.
Additional details will be released throughout our anniversary year, but the gist of things can be gleaned from the central circle in the diagram found here:

Love you guys. I just read, Wishbones, by Ben Moeller-Gaa, loved it, especially this Haiku:, “blue moon an empty bottle sings with the wind”. Probably because I’m drinking one while I write this. The last Haibun I submitted is actually a memoir. I have a new daughter… : )
