Nice to get this in the mail! I have a story in Issue 52 of Salt Hill Journal. ✨

Issue Fifty-Two: Leah Mensch - The Adroit Journal Leah Mensch is an Arab-Jewish writer and MFA candidate at the University of Arizona. They are at work on a book about the late Los Angeles writer Kate Braverman and archives on the margins.

The people inside—not the system—saved my silly life. I wrote this for them—and you.
