New story on our substack! A new companion piece and loose prelude to "Boding Embers." "Skylark Bum" captures the same gritty yet beautiful and meditative tone in another Washingtonian odyssey, which is why we're happy to have Alden as our first returning author.

Wondering what to submit? This week we're especially interested in: snow, trains, rainforests, houseplants, the queer experience^tm, cutting boards, boots, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the meaning of home, February, ekphrasis, evenings, and pavement

We are on Instagram as well. As of writing, we have more followers there, for some reason. I don't know what to post there. I'm a word guy, not an image guy. www.instagram.com/silcrowpress/
