What is love, anyhow? You can love your partner, your friend, your country, your dog, cat, rat, your local library, your family, yourself. You can love money, liquor, food, wilderness, or the dive bar on the corner. What does love make people do? What will people give for it? What will they steal?What We Talk About When We Talk About It is a literary exploration of the myriad faces of this powerful four-letter word.Poetry and prose by:Kelly Magee, Sage, MeeRee Orlandini, Erika Rasmussen, Anonymous, Woody Woodger, Lisa Dordal, Lawdenmarc Decamora, Lisa López Smith, Richard Weems, Lorna Wood, Sharon L.

This is a different kind of anthology. One bound together solely by the descanso, regardless of the genre or form of the piece. The poetry, flash fiction, essays, and short stories contained here are as varied as the theme they represent. From San Francisco to New Zealand to Greece, from a soldier saying goodbye to her helicopter to a musician in small town Texas whose life has just begun, to a woman taking supplies to the Water Protectors at Standing Rock, these pieces reflect their authors' unique takes on themes of grief and love and sudden redirection.Featuring Poetry, Flash Fiction, Short Stories, and Essays By: - Susannah Carlson, Editor - Wolf Losee, Poetry EditorFeaturing Poetry, Flash Fiction, Short Stories, and Essays By: Jesse Sensibar, Terence Kuch, Cate McGowan, Armine Mortimer, Tyson West, Richard King Perkins II, Terresa Cooper Haskew, D.
