Remember we reached out to each other and brought our sprawling, diverse county together? It wasn’t eastside or westside, it wasn’t over there. It was right here, with the smoke and ash settling in our backyards, filling our noses, and making our eyes water. None of us were unaffected. Remember?

Poetry, Submissions, Touching, , , , ,

Despair of evening gives way to terrors of the night, to sleep, disrupted, dreaming of elegance, of past and future nightmares. To wake to morning and rise, to work, to read, to listen for wisdom, to love again and hope for another evening, another night, another dream of another day.

She studied at UC Berkeley and UCLA. Her first novel, Time Is the Longest Distance, was published December 2018 by a small press out of Australia, where the story is set.

JANET CLARE: Twilight

Artistic, Submissions, , , ,

It had just turned evening when she walked out of the Bombay Café. Not in Bombay, not even close, but on a nondescript street in a posh part of Los Angeles.

Just down the street from gilt-edged mansions there stood pink stucco dwellings inhabited by drive-by invisibles.

City of Angels.
