our darkness — Blood+Honey by Reagan Davenport “For a moment, I saw nothing, heard nothing, but I felt her moving again inside me. For a moment, we were both alive.”

The Room by R.M. Davenport I twirl the cord between my fingers covered with finger paint from art therapy, and I beg my father as I cling to the receiver. I wail into the hard plastic attached to the nurse’s desk. ‘Phone tim…

This piece is extremely personal, and I am happy to finally have the opportunity to share it.

Fay Sachpatzidis: Root Lady Fay Sachpatzidis is a writer and poet based in New York City. Her writing has appeared in Prairie Schooner, The Normal School, and Bodega Magazine, among other places.

“This is a story I’ve carried for a long time. It’s about Bertha Murphy, but it’s also about my mother, and about the strange, intuitive pull I’ve always felt toward the supernatural. I’m grateful to finally give it shape on the page.” - Fay Sachpatzidis

The rot was rooted,
Embedded in the fabric
Of society.

“Sometimes you lay an egg, and people will say, It was too early. Audiences weren’t ready for it. Bullshit. If it’s good, it’s good. If it’s bad, it’s bad.”

Poetry today by E. A. Midnight

“how much of love is seeing
someone else’s mental illness as a quirk / and not failure, not a dent, not
something that must be fixed”

Screenshot of a page in a book that read: "But I choose to love you like an Indian Because desperate love runs deep in our veins And they understand that. Even if they don't understand us This is home And they respect our love And our willingness to die for our love Like our ancestors before us Where the warriors set up war camps far away from the village so that the carnage never Touches the family And they could die alone if there was dying to be done. But the community could go on. And as long as they understand that We'll never have to worry."

Working in and for NDN Country is hard and devastating in the best and worst ways. You have to be in it for the people, you have to love the people for ALL of who they were, who they are and who they can and dream to be.

RABBLE REVIEW No.9 Multiple wars rage on, at least two genocides are happening, and fascist governments are consolidating their hold on a global population evermore on edge. These pages bear a deep seated fear, frustration, and uncertainty, that are in direct conversation with that reality. There’s an immediacy here that feels new. The clock isn’t just ticking anymore. The bell tolls as we tumble towards something—and we are all bracing ourselves for what it might be.\n\nThe work in RABBLE REVIEW No.9 reflects on the new horrors and indignities that have become normalized, as well as the quiet bits of joy and rebellion we have adopted in the face of unprecedented suffering.\n\nWe are proud to present RABBLE REVIEW No.9. Join us as we make sense of our current reality and fight towards something better.\n\nSolidarity will see us through.

Never Too Late By Ramzi Albert Rihani When fear stretches itself and awakens our strength / When noise stretches itself, and you start listening / and the beast stretches itself to become human / It is never too late to remember, wish, an...

Through a cascading series of lyrical inversions, Never too Late explores the mutable borders between sorrow and strength, fear and awakening, memory and rebirth.

Mens Rea

A mental Post-it note,
Inscribes "Rules optional."
A sly and abstract rote.

Winks, smirks, and polite coughs,
When morals are not seen,
The brain behind them scoffs.

“If you’re interested in the art of life writing, then one of your jobs is to continue to make your life new—to tell your life through the lens of the color blue, or the shadow of a murder in your family, or mouth pain.” —Maggie Nelson
