Something Meaningful and Poetic Belongs Here

We recently received the sad news that Cami Park passed away. While we did not know her, we are fans of her work and this community will feel her loss for some time to come. Two stories of Cami’s, The Windowers and Telling Maybelline Jones, appeared in the September 2009 issue. The full archive of her work, which when considered in its entirety, is overwhelming, can be found here. Other than the two stories we published, my favorite Cami Park story is Slut Whore which appeared in Hobart, also in September 2009.
