Luscious Green
by Editors

Welcome to the spring 2026 issue of your favorite biannual online lit and art rag out of Rogers Park and beyond!

If you are reading this a few hours into your day, you may be thinking about lunch. Graze between words, turn off your camera, luscious green firs. Free to build new worlds, the cardinal sings to issues of social justice, equality, revelation and connection.

You in the wicker chair — who you got money on? The sun or the moon?

Electronics bloom, the sun rises in the evening to create brain matter confetti for a paper dress or an origami heart.

The wages so low, you could eat a marriage in the first days of June.

No stars in the sky. Focus on a single grain of sand on 29th Street Beach carried by avian winds.
