Barnacle Winter Review Highlights Diverse Pieces and Mood
The mid winter Barnacle issue is reviewed as subdued yet lively, mixing stark stories by Jeanette Mirsky and Eleanor Hillyer with Frances Banner’s End of the World and R. Rudd’s bitter humor in Multi-Year's After the Greek. Colorful verse by Helen Searcy and Ceridwyn L. Nolph’s introspective piece add depth, while the overall tone balances sorrow with wit and literary independence.
