We spend at least half our lives in our dreams, and dream imagery is one of the most visceral ways of expressing our hopes, dreams, fantasies and fears. This week, join us for a trip into the dreamworld.
Mark Joseph Kiewlak’s story, “Magic,” depicts a world where magic may be more than it seems.
Bruce McRae’s poem, “Shopping,” takes a dreamlike look at the nexus of consumerism and desire.
Maurice Oliver’s poem, “Or Musical Instruments Like the Guillotine…” uses dream imagery to illustrate insomnia.
Sean Lause’s poem, “My Magic Newlywed Neighbors,” provides a fanciful, voyeuristic look at love.
