Issue 225

1. I read and loved “The Deal” by Jamie Elliott Keith. The author plumbed the depths of the main character, Wilbur Sands, creating a man who is three dimensional and visible to me. Sands is not a bad man, but he also doesn’t quite see himself as a good man. Two distinct incidents in his day set the framework for this exploration of a simple man’s worth and goodness, as well as his struggle with changed circumstances and resulting loneliness and doubt. Excellent writing.

2. I found “Dressed Left” by Alle Hall imaginative and original.

3. I loved “Dressed Left’ by Alle C Hall. The author created a raw, visceral piece that evoked deep wondering on how we hold and navigate the complexities of life. Authentically with vulnerability. Excellent.

4. Great stories. I like the sharpness and imagery of Alle C. Hall’s “Dressed Left”. Thanks for the writing!

5. Alle Hall’s “Dressed Left” gives us an intense personal journey filtered through a fabulously inventive metaphorical lens.

6. Ale C. Hall’s short short “Dressed Left” is very creative, colorful and reminiscent of the avant-garde. It reminds me of train stations and stages of the early Parisian 1900s, their sharp contrasts in light and dark, plumes and trumpets. Well done.

7. Loved Dressed Left! and it left me wondering to what extent it was autobiographical 🙂

8. I enjoyed Alle Hall’s piece, Dressed Left. I found it to be creative and thought provoking, and expressed the nature of experience and maturity in an interesting way.

9. Dressed Left, by Alle Hall, was delightful, clever, and a bit quirky.

10. Thank you to everyone who wrote about my piece, “Dressed Left.” I am touched and flattered. –Alle-gal

11. The “pounding desperation” from Blake Kilgore’s Emptying Too Fast is all too relatable. To evoke that feeling that quickly takes talent. Kudos.
