Pomme Journal
My prose poem “Portrait of Anna K.” is included in Pomme Journal’s inaugural issue, “Fernweh,” which is a German word used to describe a feeling of wanderlust, farsickness or a deep longing to be somewhere else. It is a truly beautiful journal, very well designed, and furthermore, it is the only journal who gift-wrapped their contributor copies. It felt like Christmas!
