It has been a banner year for us here at Midwestern Gothic: in addition to releasing our first bi-annual issue this past winter, we published Keith Lesmeister’s collection We Could’ve Been Happy Here in May to great acclaim, and will be publishing Anna Prushinskaya’s exciting essay collection A Woman is a Woman Until She is a Mother this November.

The gorgeous cover art is by Teagan White.

The Summer 2017 issue will be releasing officially on Wednesday, August 23—mark your calendars!
