Oyster River Pages
Issue 2
“Oyster River Pages is a literary and artistic collective seeking submissions of fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, and visual arts that stretch the boundaries both creatively and socially. We believe in the power of art to connect people to their own and others’ humanity. Because of this, we seek to feature artists whose voices have been historically decentered and marginalized—Female voices, Black and Brown voices, Queer voices, and others. If you have something to add to the conversation, we want to share it with the world in our second issue, due August 2018.”

K’in: A New Journal Celebrating The Diversity of Voices Under Our One Sun
Now Reading for Our Inaugural Issue!
Seeking fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry for our inaugural issue, set to go live May 1, 2018.
About K’in
K’in is the part of the ancient Mayan Long Count Calendar system which corresponds to one day. It is the smallest unit of Maya time to be counted, and a common translation of the word means “one passage under the sun,” and it is this translation that moves us, as editors, as readers, and as writers ourselves, the recognition of how, all over the planet, the stories, the poetry, the moment-to-moment memoirs, of what it means to be human are being written every day.
We are determined to do what we can to celebrate the breathtaking range of beauty and diversity to be found each day, under that one sun. Our goal is to create a publication that makes a place for that range, for those diverse experiences, particularly making space for marginalized and underrepresented voices.
We are, all of us, so much more alike than we are different. We are, each of us, glorious, as glorious as that sun. And every voice matters.

I’ve worked on numerous literary journals, but I haven’t had the freedom to create the one that “I” imagined–until now! 
And, today is a day to celebrate two men I love, John’s birthday, and the anniversary of my beautiful brother Bill walkin on to the next life. I choose to celebrate them by building something beautiful
