"And actually, maybe all birds, no matter how nondescript, deserve similar amazement. Why not the petite brown House Wrens that are nesting in the redbud next to our porch, singing for five or ten minutes at a time, as if they cannot stop celebrating?" Tiim Bascom @undersunonline
Tim Bascom writes of an elusive songbird in "The Messenger" "I was so full of uncanny awe that I didn’t even think to go looking for my family. In England, enthusiasts who spot a spectacular bird call it a “crippler” because it paralyzes them . . ." underthesunonline.com/wordpr…

#CNFcommunity don't miss this heartfelt #CNF by @andrewbertaina in @undersunonline ... I’ve made my own solemn vows, decades ago in a small church, with families watching. But I think I agree with them. Sometimes you break a vow to save an arm, a selfish idea of your life.

We are so proud of our executive editor, Angela Mackintosh, and her essay "Super Bloom." Angela is an amazing creative nonfiction writer, and she wrote this in WOW's Lyric Essay workshop led by Naomi Kimbell. Check it out at the link below!

Thanks to Under the Sun for publishing my essay in their beautiful new edition.
Replying to @PsychicPony
@PsychicPony lyrically shows us how dealing with a son's addiction problem is like going through never ending "Revolving Doors": "In the brief time it takes for my partition to rotate around the center cylinder, things have changed." underthesunonline.com/wordpr…

So honored that my essay, "The Refusenik," is featured in "Under the Sun's" current issue.
We're thrilled to present @SueSilverman's contest winner "The Refusenik": "I want to be a reFUSEnik...(who declines to play by the rules because she is secretly pissed off, as if about to explode). However, you wouldn’t know this just by looking at me." underthesunonline.com/wordpr…

"We wave our hands over our heads like frantic birds, hollow bones flying nowhere. We twist but don’t shout, silent as important for girls as small, the teacher says…" Great cnf flash by @SF_Montgomery in @undersunonline
Big thanks to @undersunonline for publishing my nonfiction flash about Richard Simmons, middle school gym, and the dangerous ways we teach young girls to disappear. underthesunonline.com/wordpr…

“We get small like how we disappear in math class, all the problems about billiards and trains, imaginary men named Dave ...” “He reminds us that disappearance is reward, erasure a pleasure.” Giving Up by @SF_Montgomery in @undersunonline underthesunonline.com/wordpr…
