Zary Fekete ~ On the Umbrella - New World Writing Quarterly It is difficult to despair completely while holding an umbrella. A small house of ribs and fabric, sprung open with a click, lifted like a modest crown above

It's always wonderful to read work by writers I hadn't read before. "Even now, the umbrella carries a faint echo of ceremony, a small shield between human and heaven" by @zaryfekete.bsky.social in @newworldwriting.bsky.social
