Jerusalem warmth and corporeal whimsy. These are the terms that come to mind with our short story and poetry writers today. Karen Paul-Stern’s triptych entitled A Jerusalem Affair is heartfelt and moving, and Jewel Beth Davis’s story God Might Be A Vegetarian If She Exists is a beautiful look at two very different couples. We hope you enjoy reading both of them.
As we head into 2010, what are your writing resolutions for the upcoming year? Email us your top two literary goals for the year ahead and we’ll post them for everyone to see. Hopefully they will offer inspiration and motivation to all.
