"Shiro places the bird in the grass. He's about to turn when a rock strikes the bird. Cold and heavy, it rolls a few centimetres after impact, leaving a small trail of blood in its wake. The bird's skull dips in awkwardly on one side, and it falls in its place. Shiro turns, stunned, and grabs the young Prince's wrist. "Why would you do that?" He demands, and his grip tightens ever so slightly as Mitsuki stares at the broken creature. The boy blinks owlishly and lets his arm hang limp in Shiro's…

Every day, at five thirty in the morning, I awake to the painfully bright blue face of my alarm clock. The hammer-like strike of my fist upon the top of the device in order to silence clock’s incessant chirps serves as my form of revenge. I then shower, eat, and leave for school. This year, however, my schedule includes an amendment: after attending school, I will…

Actors who grew an understanding of their craft by clocking in rehearsal hours, feeding off an audience during live performances, and praying to the right gods, were signed on for a starring role in a film: an advancement in their career.

Detached Viewpoint: The Representation of Men in Elizabeth Bishop’s Poetry Every time a writer is called a “writer’s writer,” there is a certain sense of undervaluation by the readers, as if only fellow writers could truly appreciate the author’s art. Not only was Elizabeth Bishop often described as a “poet’s poet,” but John Ashbery in his review of Bishop’s Collected Poems even called her a “writer’s writer’s writer.” And yet she managed to rivet the attention of the broader audience, as…
