ISSUE SIX September 2, 2025 ISSUE SIX BACK TO TOP Sudha Balagopal FICTION Here and There ❦ I hear the double ring at the other end in India—different from the single ring here in the US. For the first minute…

“The kitchen will be hot—so will you, a-flash, perspiration on your lip. [Tenderness takes a while.]"

🧵It is with sadness that I am parting ways with ELJ Editions. I did my best to help right what many had warned me was a sinking ship, and I have succeeded in getting three beautiful books out into the world through the Redacted Books Series.
