"Worse, the men who tried to talk to her after the get-together had mange, or fleas."

Doric Literary is proud to be the new online home of a classic @megpokrass.bsky.social story.

Appropriately, "Her Own Music" is about beginning again (& again & again).

Coming September 15 at Doric Literary!
We're bringing a @megpokrass.bsky.social classic story back online!

A quote from Meg Pokrass' story, "Her Own Music" appears in white text on a blue background.

"Jane's words felt shy, and yet she wanted to introduce herself to the new neighbor. He appeared unassuming with dark glasses and a pink bald head. She wondered, for a second, if he was an apparition."
