Overview
May: gone. June: gone. July: moving fast. Here are gods, snakes, death, and demons. On the lighter, crunchier side: carrots and apples. Twice a year this zine slips out into this world, less internationally than it used to. Maybe I just need to stand at airports and offer it as in-flight reading? Maybe I can persuade an airline to make it their in-flight magazine? How refreshing it would be to pull LCRW out of the seat pocket. Since LCRW only comes out twice a year, that leaves 10 months to be filled in with other zines. Airlines, ping me. We can make this work.
In the meantime, good things are here.
Made by Gavin J. Grant & Kelly Link.

Since December 2021 Gavin has been on the couch/working from home (not in the office or shop) with something along the lines of CFS or post-viral fatigue so everything Small Beer has & will be slowed down for the foreseeable future. Thanks to Laura, Kate, Beth, Franchie, Diya, & Jess at Book Moon for shipping LCRW (&c) and running the bookshop like a dream. We’re switching websites and point of sales systems at Book Moon so your orders and patience are much appreciated.

About the Author
Ashanti Fortson is an award-winning cartoonist, illustrator, editor, and professor with a deep interest in difficult emotions, quiet moments, and the rifts and connections between human beings. Their work explores transience and reflection through a tenderhearted lens, and a good comic essay will always brighten their day. Ashanti lives in Baltimore with their spouse, their cat Miss Cheese, and at least three pet rats at all times. They’re the spider-saving sort. Ashanti’s short comic Leaf Lace won the 2021 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Comic, and was nominated in the categories of Outstanding Artist and Outstanding Online Comic. Ashanti also won a Prism Award as part of the Heartwood: Non-binary Tales of Sylvan Fantasy anthology. Ashanti is currently working on their debut graphic novel, Cress & Petra (HarperCollins).
Since stepping down from directing the Clarion West Writing Workshop Neile Graham has been slowly developing plans for her fantasy romance novel empire. Meanwhile, she has had poems in Mad Swirl and Polar Starlight, and her most recent collection, The Walk She Takes, came out in 2019, with poems about her travels in Scotland among all the stones (crofts, brochs, cairns, castles, and Neolithic villages). Several of the poems there appeared in earlier issues of LCRW.
Julie A. Hersh is a writer of speculative/odd fiction living in New York. She also works as an editor and practices martial arts. Her writing has appeared in journals including Visitant, Five on the Fifth, Monkeybicycle, Gone Lawn, and Menacing Hedge.
Robert P. Kaye’s stories have appeared in New Letters, Dark Lane, Jersey Devil, and the Dr. T. J. Eckleburg Review. He hosts the Works in Progress open mic at Hugo House in Seattle and is an editor at Pacifica Literary Review.
Nicole Kimberling has only just now started cooking dinner for guests again after almost two years without offering anyone except her wife a plate of food. She’s barely able to contain her excitement about it long enough to function in her day job as editor of Blind Eye Books. She also written several novels and even an audio drama podcast called "Lauren Proves Magic is Real!" which, like her column in this zine, is also about food and cooking—just on the supernatural level.
Olga Niziołek is a Polish writer and literary translator. In her stories people infuse clothes with darkness or tame little tornadoes. She will not refuse coffee under any circumstances.
Anna O’Connor is an American writer and visual artist. Her work has appeared (or is forthcoming) in Copper Nickel, Travesties?!, The Scores, and elsewhere. She lives in Edinburgh.
Jessy Randall’s poems and stories have appeared in Poetry, McSweeney’s, Nature, and Scientific American. Gold SF at the University of London will publish her new book, Mathematics for Ladies: Poems on Women in Science in September. She is a librarian at Colorado College.

Ellen Saunders misses baking. She writes speculative fiction in the drippy part of the Pacific Northwest, sings in a women’s choir, serves as staff two three cats, and occasionally attempts to garden. She has been a member of Wordos in Eugene for more than a decade and has driven both of the more talented members of her older critique group into graduate school. Her work has been published in Daily Science Fiction and a ROAR anthology. You can find her avoiding revision by addictively tweeting at @MulletBraid, a handle that should explain her lack of fashion sense.
Laura Wang is based in Brooklyn and Taipei, where she writes stories and talks to human beings about molecules. Her fiction has appeared in the Jellyfish Review and Pigeon Pages, her nonfiction has appeared in Catapult, and her random thoughts have appeared on twitter.com/laura_c_wang.

Christopher Yin is a closet literature major wearing an engineering grad student’s clothing. Following the advice of Octavia Butler’s famous self-help books, he has escaped the fires and droughts of Southern California for Seattle. In his professional life he tries to keep cells from dying; in his nonprofessional life he reads too much/never enough. In fact, he is probably reading something right now, while also eating dumplings.
Kelly Link is the author of Get in Trouble, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, Magic for Beginners, Stranger Things Happen, Pretty Monsters, and the forthcoming White Cat, Black Dog. Her short stories have been published in The Best American Short Stories and Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards.
