    Deborah M. Gordon

  • Sometimes Things are Punk, Sometimes They are Not
    Juventino Manzano
    This diary is very different from my grandmother’s in many ways-the generational differences are apparent upon reading. Hilda helped ran a garage for her father, while Esther worked as a stenographer and was very much a lady, whereas Hilda would have been considered a 'tom boy.' Another issue with Esther’s diary is the lack of photos. Due to a family squabble, if that is even t...

  • Love in the Time of COVID
    Juventino Manzano
    I told Oscar he was not to take any vaccine for COVID. He said he would not. He then said something I absolutely admire, and is how I feel as well, 'If COVID kills me, then I was not meant to be here.' If only the masses felt that way.

    Suddenly, there is a blur in front of my face. I try to see it and I do not see anything-there it is again. I see a flash of green and scarlet and realize that there is a hummingbird hovering over my head. It rockets,hovers, bounces, and dodges unknown particles only it sees, and now it is less than a yard away looking directly at me. It dives into one of the moonflowers and in...

  • Love in the time of Covid
    Juventino Manzano
    Love in the time of Covid consists of poetry pre-covid, and during, after, and into the eternal present. The pandemic disrupted the abnormality of normality trading its abnormalities for totalitarian edicts to see if people would do anything to stay alive, take a trip, to pretend things would be normal again if they submitted. A time of mask covered faces convinced by fear and ...
