Dina Tasini
The longest good bye
Caregiving and growing through that journey as I care for my demented mother and learn to forgive and find empathy.
Ruth Ann Binder (she/her)
Fabulous!
A young girl’s coming of age ceremony is taken over by her own mother who makes the event all about her! How does this young one find her way in the world with a mother like this?!
Nawaz Latif (he/him)
Millennial Optimism
A love story in the end times.
​
Dana Smith (she/her)
Title of your piece: Jasmine and Jet Fuel
A born-and-bred downtown girl, Dana thought growing up in gritty 1980s New York had prepared her for anything. Then she follows a boy to California—and can’t seem to find him. From backyard banana slugs to the Hollywood Hills home of singer Rita Coolidge, Dana discovers the best way to find herself is to get lost far from home.
