For Flash Friday, read Tavia Allan’s “Hope Pier is a Real Place (But It’s Not Necessarily Where I Say It Is)”: seemingly set in Hammersmith, this piece is as elusive as it is thoughtful.               A look into the archives: Celebrating Easter!   FROM THE ARCHIVES: For Easter Sunday tomorrow, we’re reminded of “Blank and Sacred,” by Jacqueline Kharouf. Published in Litro in 2015, it tells the story of an Easter Sunday lunch, filled with desire, secrets and difficult family relationships.  “Leah closed her eyes and allowed herself to forget—for a moment—that she was drowning in the ice water of her own sadness. Instead of hovering above the scene she decided to keep herself in it, to stay present, feeling the proximity of another body—a closeness incomplete only because of their clothes.”       Become a digital subscriber Copyright © 2022  All rights reserved.
