Issue #74, Moments of Clarity
Winter 2021
Creative Nonfiction #74: "Moments of Clarity" features stories of sudden realizations, things that can’t be unsaid, and power dynamics laid bare: a seventeen-year-old flirts her way into trouble; a daughter’s offhand remark shatters a family’s fragile peace; an employee quietly decides HR’s focus on diversity is actually kind of racist, and more.
Also in this issue: epiphanies in nonfiction, legal advice for writers, and tiny truths.
All new subscriptions will start with issue #74.
