Awe, love this micro #flashfiction by Rachel Laverdiere in Bending Genres LLC ! Anything written about music or art will grab me when crafted as well as this one, as I am the mother of a talented songwriter & feel the arts deserve more love. Truly poetic flash. Bravo, Rachel!
She wonders how she wound up with a man so immune to the bouquet of sound budding on the cellist’s strings.
Love! Read Rachel Laverdiere in Bending Genres LLC!
“The cellist sways—eyes squeezed shut, fingertips feathering strings—and the cello moans—her wails coiling and climbing higher and higher.”
This is lovely (except for one crucial thing). Well done, Rachel Laverdiere !

We planned a million escapes—me from my brother’s torture, Shane from his drunk dad’s fists. Not once did we imagine we’d stay and stay and stay.
Heartbreaking and brave Rachel Laverdiere in Anti-Heroin Chic
#WritingCommunity My micro in Bending Genres LLC. Thanks SmokeLong Quarterly & group mates!
One hand fondles the strings wound tautly at her neck & the other caresses the frets along her ribs and she exhales a resonant moan from the depths of her burgeoning belly.

#WritingCommunity check out Corinne Cordasco-Pak's #CNF at Identity Theory What a great hermit crab!

#WritingCommunity ... oooff! Must-read #micro by Sumitra (short i, as in admit) (she/her) in Anti-Heroin Chic
It doesn’t start with Ma’s Ma’s Ma, or a long line of Mas, irritable, bound together like worms knotted deep in their guts.

We begin each day the same way: a fresh diaper for my wife, Brenda, getting dressed and brushing teeth.

Oh my goodness! I keep blinking in disbelief! My first published haibun 'Winter Augury' (Haiku Canada Review) has been named to the Touchstone Long List. These are such gorgeous compositions, I can't believe my words are shared here. So full of gratitude and joy!🙏✨

At the end of the world, the weather girl can do anything she ever wanted.
She curls up on her couch ... stares at the blank television, her face reflected in its dark screen.
Is this me, she says. Is this me.
ALL THE DEAD WE HAVE YET TO BURY will be a real chapbook❗️❗️❗️ I'm unbelievably excited and honored to work with Chestnut Review. Thrilled is an understatement. Can't wait to put this out into the world.
