@twohawksquarterly, the Lit Mag where a lot of Sentience's editors cut their teeth, has just released their fabulous Spring 2021 issue! 🎉🦅📖🦅🎉

Fiction Editor @missguided_ink muses on discordant points of view and what harmonizes the human experience in her short story "Piano Forte."

We're drifting into the weekend with @saintjakeowitz's darkly atmospheric “Portrait of a Smoking Lounge as Cave.”

The smallest moments of connection can have sublime power when our interior spaces threaten to overwhelm us.

This evening, we're revisiting the complicated ambivalence of @mayamyamaija's "Flight Cage."

We're taking a Tuesday afternoon meditation on the complex town we call our own, inspired by @cybrnymph's poem, "Los Angeles."

"Yang," a short #fiction piece from @helendoremus, explores the boundaries of yearning across intangible connections. Read "Yang" in the Isolation issue at sentiencejournal.com

Revisiting the way "Rent" by @senkathleen explores the relationship between time and space this afternoon.

Starting the week with this incredible piece by @rewindrevise!

The attacks in Atlanta yesterday are part of an ongoing increase in violence against our Asian American friends and family, especially of older, working class Asian women. This violence and discrimination didn't start with COVID-19, but the pandemic has precipitated a marked increase in attacks against the AAPI community.
