Monthly Response Column on NAILED
Editor Kirsten Larson, Posts, March 4th, 2015
In our monthly Response Column, NAILED asks readers to respond to a particular word or topic. We seek to publish raw, honest personal responses that aim less to answer questions and more to raise them. Responses in the form of art, photography, essay, story, poem, and rant have been considered for publication.
