A Statement on the Israel-Gaza Crisis
Your Impossible Voice supports the Palestinian peoples’ right to justice, freedom, equality, and self-determination. We call for an end to the genocidal violence being waged against Gaza and an end to oppression and occupation.
Issue 29 | Fall 2023
Issue 29 brings flirty game wardens, nuns in a cavern, mysterious transmissions, the world’s youngest knife thrower, the names of Argentina’s rivers, streams, and lakes, the fountain of youth, gray dawns, and ferocious appetites. It’s about war, lies and misinformation, languages and language, erasures, brutal occupations, bad reasons for enlisting, and signs that refract so deeply we can’t trace their path back to the world. It’s about sinister radio signals from the fillings in your teeth or maybe over there among the trees.
Includes new work by James Nulick, Mary Burger, Denis Tricoche, Yuliia Iliukha and Hanna Leliv, John Gu, Iliana Vargas, Lena Greenberg, and Michelle Mirabella, Kelly Krumrie, Juan José Saer and Will Noah, Afsana Begum and Rifat Munim, Michael Loyd Gray, William M. McIntosh, Laura Zapico, Stella Vinitchi Radulescu and Domnica Radulescu, Skye Gilkerson, Adam Day, Ariana Den Bleyker, Justin Vicari, Rebecca Macijeski, Cletus Crow, and Ayshia Müezzin.
Our 2024 Best of the Net Nominees
Your Impossible Voice is pleased to nominate the following extraordinary works for Sundress Publication’s Best of the Net anthology.
Issue 28 | Spring 2023
Issue 28 explores the politics of domesticity, the confusion of desire, and dreams of mysterious strangers, flying over borders, and living under a seat in an abandoned movie theater like a desperate, hunched troll. All that, plus tropical maladies, suicidal impulses, sexual obsession, decaying memories, stolen trucks, honking cars, creepy houses, electric crickets, humiliation, and writers who die too young. It’s a vulnerable issue — truthful and deluded.
Featuring new short fiction, poetry, CNF, translations, and art from Cástulo Aceves (translated by Michael Langdon), Victoria Ballesteros, Nikki Barnhart, Sophie Bebeau, Israel Bonilla, Ellis Elliott, Vilde Fastvold (translated by Wendy H. Gabrielsen), Bo Huston, J.G. Jesman, Marream Krollos, Edward Lee, Marina Mariasch (translated by Ellen Jones), Blue Neustifter, Evan Nicholls, Dale Peck, Matthew Roberson, Evan Williams, and David Wojciechowski.
