Our long-awaited issue no. 10 is now here, filled with a six-year brew of poetry, prose, art, music, and plays, starting with this work from artist Nancy Wolitzer, I Fell Asleep in the Sea.
Acrylic on gessoboard, 13.5 x 13.5 inches, 2017
The issue is dedicated to Winnie Strathmann, a dear friend who we lost this year. Winnie’s haunting stories have been in many issues of the Linear. One of the last pieces he wrote is included within (“The Last Move”), as well as a portrait of him (“Winnie”) by his wife, artist Mila Dau.
