@quickasaflash.bsky.socialLost cats in between MRI scans, a beached seal reading about war, falling in love incorrectly, an imprisoned tree... such a buzz when familiar words form unfamiliar unions. Plus a haunting prose palindrome from @kathyprokhovnik.bsky.social And I'm in it too with thoughts about ageing disgracefully.
@trashcatlit.bsky.socialReposted by @quickasaflash.bsky.socialDay two of teases for our upcoming prose poem issue 🦝
Gill O'Halloran @quickasaflash.bsky.social gives us a blistering, darkly funny look at ageing 💜
Lavanya Arora gives us joystick-jabbing nostalgia in one piece, and post-relationship surreal networking in his second 💜
COMING 28th
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialThanks Lori, glad you liked.
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialWow @lorifontanes.bsky.social I love this haunting retelling of Adam and Eve.
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialThanks for reading Louise, I appreciate it.
@quickasaflash.bsky.social
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialThanks for the repost Bronwen, I appreciate. Yes #HumanExtinction is what's in news atm. Maybe AI will spare us like the bird?
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialThis lit mag was a new find thanks to @therelphian.bsky.social. I found some beautifully strange pieces in the last edition so I'm pleased to be in this latest one. Thanks to editor @leiabutler.bsky.social for her collaborative approach.

@quickasaflash.bsky.socialYes. This is on my Spotify playlist- love it.
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialI love this eco-spec piece by @sflayzell.bsky.social ; like a poem, I didn't need to understand it all, because the feeling of rebellion and hope short-circuits the intellect, and that's a buzz.
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialAny story about a swimming pool gets my vote, and this one by @travisflatt.bsky.social is mesmerising.
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialPoetic and moving, don't miss this story by @keithwoodruff.bsky.social . It's one of many worth reading in latest Trash Cat Issue.
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialThank you Claudia!
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialThank you Kathy!
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialThank you so much for reading and reposting Linda. Much appreciated.
@quickasaflash.bsky.socialSo happy to have a new story up here. Thanks to @thedrevlow.bsky.social for being a top-class collaborative editor, and to @smokelong.bsky.social fitness for support with the first draft. Maybe listen to the quoted #jackieleven song while reading? www.youtube.com/watch?v=91_F...
