With a new piece every month, Voices Rising elevates millennial voices through a digital platform to publish diverse forms of storytelling. From poetry and creative nonfiction to song and visual art, we hear from young people grappling with the greatest challenges society faces.
by Rachel Davis
Aware of my un-
balance, the
necessity of my toes,
I rock on the still Jetty’s basalt,
tilt on clumsy pockmarks
dimpled and raised in the sand,
precipitate words
because I’ve become
unacquainted with heavy air.
After months of preparation and a few hours of nail biting, we successfully reached our $25,000 Kickstarter goal to publish two new books by debut authors: Confluence by Zak Podmore and Shaped by Snow by Ayja Bounous. We could not have reached this goal without the continuous support from every one of you: thank you.
