fatestrings By Rebecca Koktius Editor' Note: This piece was previously published by Pussy Magic.  At times my mother will tell me she can sense the coming rain or snow in her body.

Female Stories Front and Center in First Women’s Theatre Festival  RICHMOND, Virginia — Mounting Richmond’s first-ever Women’s Theatre Festival has involved making a lot of decisions, both large and small: from crafting narrative arcs and landing a production’s memorable takeaway moments, down to the detailed choice of what color pants an actor will wear onstage.
Raging Currents and Still WaterBy Alex Carrigan  Image from Barnes and Noble. It's always important to confront the past, no matter how ugly, how bitter, how torturous, and how unpleasant a task that is. It really isn't something that should be spelled out so often, but it's still something that people tend to avoid for various reasons, some justified and some not as much.

Psychedelic Pop Artist Takes on Nashville
Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, Lexx is a pop artist who draws inspiration from the realities of day-to-day life while harnessing the mystical sounds of music to create a new breed of pop music.

“Yeah, it’s like Burning Man for writers,” I responded. I was exaggerating a bit. Unlike Burning Man, AWP doesn’t happen in a dry lakebed filled with sand fleas. The conference is held in a different city every year, within the semi-posh confines of convention centers and upscale chain hotels. The Shrill TruthBy Ghia Vitale  Shrill is a truthful representation of what many fat women (including myself) go through every day. I recommend this series not only to fat people, but also to thin people who want more insight into what fat women experience all the time. Warning: Spoilers ahead!
