Graduate Meaghan Mulholland (2010) has two new pieces of fiction out. You can read her small and stunning gem, "Novitiate," in Post Road Magazine:
"Last fall's acorns have taken root, shoots breaking forth from husks we neglected. They grip the earth with tiny fingers—surprisingly strong for such small things. We pull them out, one by one; they resist at first, then yield, the way life clings and clings and clings until it doesn't."
If that whets your appetite, head for the main course: a lengthy story titled "The Long Life Hotel" in At Length.
