Featured Writers in Issue Two

Prose
Michael Landweber
"The key to good writing is careful rewriting ... Why put yourself through the pain of recreating a world you already created? Because that is the only way to be a good writer."
In each issue of ARDOR the editor selects one prose writer and one poet to feature in the issue. Immediately following their work we offer a short interview with each of these writers to provide readers with insight into their creative process, a discussion of the struggles they faced in writing their featured work and craft advice for new writers.
Read Michael Landweber's short story, Touch, on page 14

Read Luisa A. Igloria's poems beginning on page 26
Poetry
Luisa A. Igloria
"... I write at least one poem every single day. And when I am there, even for that short stretch of writing, I find that now I'm mostly able to drop into that space much more quickly."
