HOVER Robert Frankel
Hover By Robert Frankel He’d learned how to levitate when he was young as a defense mechanism against “who-knows-what,” the fear of which metastasizes amongst every raised-right Southern queer. If that was the strangest thing about him, he thought, maybe the bullies would think he was Jesus. Maybe his parents wouldn’t expel him or disown him if they learned anything more pertinent. The bullies grew tired of throwing rocks and soon enough pursued reachable targets. As for his folks, either his strategy worked or he had underestimated them: He received an exaggerated shrug, and dinner—hand-pulled noodles, shiitake mushrooms, Bok choy, a dark brown sauce that took its sweet time biting back—continued, unabated. He has two brothers, after all.
"Hover" by Robert Frankel is our newest fiction piece. Read the full story on PJO now.

SAY THIS Lynne Ellis
Say This By Lynne Ellis Say you drive us across the state at night, one hand on the wheel & one hand bent backwards on your lips. Love follows in the car behind, shines its brights into our rearview mirrors. Say we're on river sand, say we're in those brights, say we're in the moon dark & you wrap two fingers between my thumb & knuckle, hard. Say I tie your wrists to the animal bark of a tree & go after your ribs. Say you kiss my cheek & fill my mouth with apricots.
Looking for something new to read? Check out our latest poem, "Say This" by Lynne Ellis. The full piece is out on PJO. Read it on our site now.

SOME BALEEN WHALES HAVE LEARNED TO SING AT FREQUENCIES TOO LOW FOR PREDATORS TO HEAR Abby E. Murray
Some Baleen Whales Have Learned to Sing at Frequencies Too Low for Predators to Hear By Abby E. Murray Most days, I am so preoccupied with trying to understand violence and its constant evolution, its sick genius and knack for producing young with one more row of teeth than it had before, plus thicker skin, an extra stomach—
Our newest poem, "Some Baleen Whales Have Learned to Sing at Frequencies Too Low for Predators to Hear" by Abby E. Murray, contemplates the coexistence of violence with peace in the context of marine life. Read the full piece on PJO now.

Of Wait Elisabeth Preston-Hsu
Of Wait By Elisabeth Preston-Hsu The coastline paradox is the length of a coastline is not static, and depends on the scale used to measure it. Coasts are not made of straight lines. They cannot be measured definitively. I. A reindeer grows antlers in the same pattern year to year. No other mammal can regenerate an organ naturally. The same knob on the left remains lower than the right. The same velvet tissue bleeds ribbons onto snow when injured. It’s the same over and over but the possibilities depend on scale. Dark will find light. Heat will find cold. Water will find salt.
"Of Wait" by Elisabeth Preston-Hsu is our latest poem. Read the full piece on PJO now.

Girls Just Wanna Have Rachel M. Beavers
Girls Just Wanna Have By Rachel M. Beavers Your bed looks like it’s going to eat you, mouth ravenous and open and red like blood. I kick my shoes off next to your desk, black chunky boots that make a thunking sound when they hit real wood, not the cheap Ikea shit. The zipper of my dress catches on my tights and rips them. Another pair ruined. They’re coming off anyway, so I strip down and stand tall for your careless inspection. You’re just going for the bed, like you want to be swallowed up.
Read the rest of our newest fiction piece, "Girls Just Wanna Have" by Rachel M. Beavers, out now on PJO.

ON COMING OUT Emma Thomas Jones
On Coming Out By Emma Thomas Jones The feathers were slender, brown like grill marks or swatches on an aspen. They belonged to a house sparrow, clogged my throat until I fingered my uvula, burst my lips like a pillow, feathers scattering the staircase.
To close out the month of June, "On Coming Out" by Emma Thomas Jones uses natural imagery to reflect upon the feeling of such a singular and distinctive process. Read it on PJO now.
