Guernica needs you

Dear Friend, For fourteen years, Guernica magazine has served as a home for incisive voices that champion art and speak out against social and environmental injustices. But none of what we publish would be possible without the support of readers like you. That's why we're asking you today for help. With a donation of $50 or more, you can help us continue to publish work that wins awards, informs political debate, appears in classrooms around the country, and importantly, brings greater awareness to some of the world’s most significant people and subjects. We are especially proud of our recent special issue dedicated to "deserts." It features some of our best work to date by writers such as Basma Abdel Aziz, Claire Vaye Watkins, and Kimi Eisele. As we look to the second half of 2018, can we count on your support? One hundred percent of your donations will support our contributors as well as our fellowship program, which provides valuable professional experiences for emerging writers, editors, and multimedia journalists. On behalf of everyone at Guernica, thank you for your generosity. Together, we will continue to advocate through passionate and beautifully written stories for a better, more just world, one where art and social justice are not only valued—they're demanded.                                                                                                                                  PLEASE GIVE NOW                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Sincerely, Phineas Lambert Publisher and Director

Thieves

He offered me a fist bump, then seemed to reconsider, and clasped me in a masculine, endearingly chaste hug. “My brother!” he said. “Your wife is a very lucky woman. I hope you get home safe to her, and happy.”
