The stories and poems in our sixty-fifth issue all relate to communication—the simple and elaborate ways we share, or avoid sharing, our ideas and feelings. In Joe Scott’s “The People of the Pit,” two voices rise out of darkness and disorder. Next up is Sheri Vandermolen’s “Mandelbrot Chaos,” in which abstract art blooms across boundaries of space and sensory perception. Rowdy Geirsson, who made another appearance way back in Issue 24, searches for clues in an odd recorded conversation in “Self-Condemned in the Tunnelbana,” and Gloria Heffernan takes a free-verse measure of “Conversational Distance.” Finally, Ashley Hutson strums a C-chord on our heartstrings with her short tale of love and stuffed animals, “My Friends Live on My Bed.” And check out the cover art, too, because Aimee Flom’s “Sacrificial Lamb” is no escape goat.

We’re not saying we’re the greatest magazine in the galaxy, but we’re not not saying that, either.

The lousy Smarch weather has blown issue sixty-four onto your doorstep. Witness the advent of texting in paradise, figure out what really hatched from the meteorite that landed in your neighborhood, hunt for food (and survival), listen to the wolves on the stairs, experience trans-dimensional heartache, and squeeze a movie star’s foam trouser hams. And don’t miss the great mood lighting in this month’s cover art.

Shouldn’t one of these say, “Eat Me”? That feels like a real missed opportunity . . .

Bust out your “I’m with cupid” t-shirt, ’cause the freezingest, slushiest, most romantical month of the year has arrived. And with it, a new issue of Jersey Devil Press.

Issue sixty-three brings you adventure, magic, danger, surrealism, despair, and more adventure. We’re also playin’ some footsie.

Adore it online or cuddle the PDF.
