"My friend loves deer and wants a tattoo of one on her shoulder. / We are talking about deer and we are also talking about my ex." The weaving together of elements in this extraordinary piece from @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social, so much buried beneath the surface, deserves multiple reads

"She says, 'In reality, they ran away from me, you know. The deer.' She looks at me for a long time. Like I am the deer, and she is the headlights." My lord, this extraordinary piece of writing by @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social in @rfpress.bsky.social 💙💙💙 www.roifaineantpress.com/post/deer-in...

"As a child, I hated no animal. I loved them all, deeply. Maybe all children do. When you’re young, you see possibility, not a tired old buck plodding above coffins." This tiny story by @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social at @rfpress.bsky.social 🤍 www.roifaineantpress.com/post/deer-in...

“As a child, I hated no animal. I loved them all, deeply. Maybe all children do. When you’re young, you see possibility, not a tired old buck plodding above coffins.” Read this beauty by @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social @rfpress.bsky.social ❤️ www.roifaineantpress.com/post/deer-in...

Sometimes a deer is just a deer. Sometimes it's a stand-in for an ex. Or for yourself. I guess it depends on the deer. Check out "Deer in the Headlights", a moving work of autofiction by Allison Field Bell @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social in our next edition. Sunday!

“Don’t be the woman who is afraid.” “Be the woman who …” “Be the woman with a lover who …” @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social in @literaryruby.bsky.social rubyliterarypress.com/issue-six-is...

“I didn’t understand how sometimes people die before they die.” “When I saw him, I did and did not know it was the last time.” “I think I’ll come back here again and again. But …” @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social in @jmwwjournal.bsky.social jmwwblog.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/c...

“But I don’t. I don’t ever come back.” This piece by @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social in @jmwwjournal.bsky.social is so poignant and beautiful. (Thanks for passing it along, dear @pdforan.bsky.social!)❤️

"Uncle Henry was an artist, a stippler. He filled paper with intricate lines of color. Like a layer cake. Like the Dead Sea: its threads of mud and mineral." I love this brilliance by @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social in @jmwwjournal.bsky.social 💙💙💙

Absolutely gorgeous and moving piece, @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social "At the Dead Sea, I slink across the rocks and lower myself into the black liquid. I float there on my back, staring up at the sky. I don’t think about Uncle Henry. Not even once. I don’t think about his death or his life."

Thrilled to share this braided flash CNF about the Dead Sea and my Uncle Henry. Thanks so much to @jmwwjournal.bsky.social for publishing 💕

"Don’t be the woman who doesn’t move her body through the desert air. The woman who looks in the mirror and then goes immediately to the liquor cabinet" Great use of anaphora to create emotional insistence in this fab piece from @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social: rubyliterarypress.com/issue-six-is...
