To escape from the extreme temperatures, plan to spend some time indoors with the latest issue of damselfly press. We’re eager for you to dive into the story “Things We Think About When We Drown,” and submerge yourselves in the refreshingly unique poems we’ve selected. “SOLSTICE” reinforces this dreamy, lingering time of year, and asks us to revel in these slower days of summer. Soon enough, we’ll be back to the grind. So relax and enjoy.

Our thirteenth issue will be available October 15th, 2010. If you’d like to submit, please visit our guidelines section and send us your submission by September 15th, 2010. Thank you to all of our submitters.

With each passing month, time seems to pick up speed. We spend much of autumn preparing for the coming winter. We begin to burrow, yet often don’t get the chance to spend an afternoon reading. So we thank you for carving out your time to read through our ninth issue, which is packed with thought provoking writing just right for these fall days. Take a few minutes for yourself and stop by again soon.

Our tenth issue will be available January 15th, 2010. If you’d like to submit, please visit our guidelines section and send us your submission by December 15th, 2009. Thank you to all of our submitters.
