Bridging Divides
Each of us holds a unique essence, the specific, sacred identities that we claim as individuals shape the perspectives we hold and the stories we tell. Too often, the differences between us cast shadows and build walls to separate our hearts from one another. But in these stories, a variety of differences are celebrated: a girl and a god discuss the concept of loneliness, siblings explore the nuances of neurodivergence, a granddaughter reaches back through generations to learn about her grandmother's childhood, a student embraces the academic culture of a another country, and many more. In each of these pieces, written by members of the Girls Write Now community, walls are taken down and the divides between us are bridged.

Civil War: An Excerpt
In this multi-perspective historical science fiction piece, a grandmother and granddaughter communicate in order to understand how a civil war changed the world they once knew and kept them away from loved ones.
Library Conversations
It's been years since the last time I saw Jack. I'd never thought that I would ever hear his voice on the radio. I guess his dream came true.
preparatory nostalgia for someone still here
This poem encapsulates, for me at least, the painful feeling of loved ones growing old. It also conveys the struggle of watching a grandparent with Parkinson's diminish as the years go by.
passed down
Sammi and I both lost our fathers at a young age and writing this poem together has been a way for us to both process our losses and better understand ourselves.
In the Morning
I start with the littlest things. The ones that take no effort. The ones that remind me that I am capable of doing the others.
Little Lamb
“Little Lamb” is about giving up.
Day of Characters
A short story about the first step of what other people considered this woman's breakdown.
When the Rain Disappears
Rainy days engulf you, take over, and become all-consuming. Rain is more than just the weather, it's the atmosphere that comes with the feeling of walking down the sidewalk while rain pours down around you.
Me Here, With You
These poems speak to the intimacy of a single moment with another person.
Pale Pale Fire
A somewhat satirical account of the life of a fictional protagonist who would be born in the year of the cat.
