short reads for the new year
Dear writers,
As 2020 rolls to a close (finally!), I wanted to share some delightful short reads to brighten up your new year:
Fiction: "The Wonder Spot," by Melissa Bank
A little gem from the author of The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing
Poetry: "Barton Springs," by Tony Hoagland
For all the swimmers out there, or those who just like the phrase "mortal martini"
Essay: "Late Bloomers," by Malcom Gladwell
One of my favorite essays about the quiet, uncelebrated work that goes into creating a writing life
