Congratulations to Writer of the Month, Ava Coriaty! Azalea By Jasmine Tewksbury Azaleas,
fragile and pink. So small, they cause little people to think. To think about them, and their place in this world. They sit there with their petals all curled. They do not mind people belittling them. For they know, they are not just petals on a stem. They are the beauty that soaks up the sun. They are the thing you give to a loved one. They bloom, whether we tell them to or not. They sit in a garden until moved into a flower pot. Some are ripped out of the ground before they finish sprouting. They feel the grasp of a hand, and begin to start doubting. Doubting the reason they were put on this earth. Then they realize, there will be a rebirth. They will return. As a Dahlia, large and yellow. Or an Orchid, as white as a marshmallow. Just because they have a new design, does not make their worth decline. Congratulations to Literary Magazines Artist of the Month, Alexis Ganzel!

Made of 30% butter and 30% sugar, the Kouign-amann is pure pleasure. This divinely rich pastry comes from the coastal town of Douarnenez, France, where it was accidentally created in 1860 by a busy baker who had run out of pastries to sell. Quickly, he combined bread dough, butter and sugar, yielding what is now a quintessentially Breton treat. So go ahead. Treat yourself. Attention Poets and Storytellers!
