The DSM-V Diagnostic Criteria for PTSDBy Ren Martinez  I’m trying to write and I keep remembering
the brown of my husband’s hands They are thin and strong-knuckled; he once stuck a pencil into the meat of his ring finger and now a thread of graphite runs through his nail (ingrained in keratin, indelible) Twirling me around in the kitchen, our socks slipping on the floor as laughter rises like steam from the brewing teapot Twining with the pale of my own fingers as we walk down grocery aisles, comparing the price between Clif and Luna bars before we decide on sugar cookies Smoothing the pages of the Quran as he fumbles the Arabic rarely spoken The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.

Luck of the Irish It's been a while since I did the last Saint Spotlight column, but better late than never! Anyhow, I think we all know why we're seeing green-dyed beer everywhere today, but do you know why we even celebrate St. Patrick in the first place? Many people do not realize St Patrick's story is filled with turmoil, inspiration, and adventure and is worth learning about.

A Creative Scholarship And CommunityBy The Editors  If education is power, then a scholarship can be Excalibur in the hands of the right student. Quail Bell founder Christine Sloan Stoddard felt stranded not long after college graduation. She knew what her dream was: running Quail Bell Press & Productions, including creative projects like Quail Bell Magazine. But the path to get there seemed like a labyrinth, despite a few early successes. Christine could not have prepared for a devastating family tragedy that took place just months before her wedding to her college sweetheart. Already poised to move to New York City, Christine did so with start-up contracts in hand. Then a string of lay-offs took place. As each start-up collapsed or downsized, she found herself losing contracts, clients, and what seemed like possibilities. Out of necessity, Christine then took a full-time job as editor-in-chief with 25A Magazine and Metropolitan Magazine, owned by the deceptive publisher Chase Backer. To this day, Chase, who goes by various aliases, owes Christine money. (You'll get the full story here at Quail Bell Magazine soon—promise!) Christine quit the job with a small claims lawsuit in process.
It was time to re-group. The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.
