A recent recent publication
of an Aotearoa/New Zealand-themed issue of our online literary and art
magazine, Penduline can be viewed here: http://www.pendulinepress.com/issue/issue-7/
Editor Bonnie Ditlevsen writes :
Sarah
Horner-Olson, my co-editor, is a native of Invercargill, although she has lived
here in Portland (where we are based) for years. We were both strongly
motivated to create this themed issue, a first of its kind in our region. Our
issues include works by visual artists as well as writers of fiction (short
stories, prose poetry, flash fiction, and poetry). After six months of
planning, curating, and communicating, we launched the issue last week.
We
have posted the following on our site's Facebook page:
