Surprise! Issue No. 12 is arriving a little sooner than expected! We’re very excited to announce that & Change will be switching to a quarterly publishing cadence moving forward, as opposed to being published triannually as we have been since 2022.

gianna, gianna  
1987 

sweet sweet summer has a name and it’s 
gianna marino the sleek teen queen 
of waverly st.  

gianna with the black-magic curls windswept  
gianna the girl forever homecoming and going 

gianna the wild-one who gave two for flinching 
caught gassing up the alley kids 
 
with candy-sweet smokes  
from the cornershop 

our folks cried o gonegirl o choirgirl 
fallen from such angelic heights but  

it was gianna always who called in  
the neighborhood kids in time for supper 

her orange-violet tones carried in 
the dusky afterglow

it was gianna true that feral sunsetting
screech-machine the rasp in her voice  

unheard of before this very summer
gianna the teen dream perched rooftop  

laid out on her stripey beach towel 
that fourth of july in the blazing sun all the livelong day tanned herself a deep deep purple

til her whole body became one big 
plummy bruise 

raven-like and violet-black
silken with ooze

across the alley we watched her
poor old dad shoo her away 

with a kitchen-broom
like some dark harpy 

her eyes straw-scratched 
and black hair full of splinters 

our folks said looks like 
she musta finally flew the coop 
flew the coop
