Parallax
byT.D. Walker
A photographer's programmer daughter seeks to generate a memorial to
him by feeding his photographs to the AI she maintains. When the AI is
fed art, music, and literature from the women who affected his work
and, in turn, those who influenced theirs, the memorials begin to take
unexpected forms. The poems in ask us to consider how
memorials made by AI bring us closer to and farther from those they
are intended to honor.

Like Shards of Rainbow Frolicking in the Air
by L. Timmel Duchamp
Like Shards of Rainbow Frolicking in the Air collects three early and one new story by L. Timmel Duchamp. The Tiptree/Otherwise Award Honor list story “Motherhood, Etc.,” explores gender issues through a nineteen year-old’s defiant challenge to medical authorities determined to control their body and contain their sexual difference. Another Tiptree/Otherwise Honor List story, “Welcome, Kid, to the Real World,” explores the grip that sexual dimorphism presented as an either/or choice has on a culture offering a seemingly limitless menu of choices to young adults. In “The Last Nostalgia,” Daisy Q seeks to map the City, a territory lying between the Real World and the Excellent World, home to poets and mathematicians. And finally, in “When Joy Came to the World,” a USian graduate student doing archival research in Florence experiences the joys of mass hedonism following a mysterious snowfall in the Arno.

Bankrupting Sky Banks
by Erik Hofstatter
The disquiet in our heads has started fires again. God tries to smoke
us out. We have red hair because our heads are alight. But we resist
His interpretation. Red also shows our willingness to bleed.
Everyday more flesh leaves our bones. They all leave. The people we
love—only out of habit, for contentment. The people we love—only out
of respect, for blood shared. Even our own flesh leaves us when we
stress. God leaves us when his sky path goes dark. And he waits for us
to die so he can peck away. But we don’t know if there’s holy flavor
left in us anymore.
Bankrupting Sky Banks is an introspective work inspired by the
infamous Borgia family. A half-burned invitation written to God.
We are the prey that prays.

with the selection of the first mission’s “volunteer” crew and
culminating with the idea’s lovely and unforeseen consequences,
