Marta Rodríguez Iborra, writing out of Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where she currently combines a position at the Graduate School with doctoral research on women's modern autobiographical literature, ushers in one of life's purposes in her poem "It":
you are not born to dig holes
but to oar in foreign seas
Find her writing on her blog at Anatomía de la Intimidad.

"At the border there were sycamore and sassafras, broad oaks that were at least a hundred years old, and hazel with sharply forked branches like dowsers used to find water."
The above quotation is taken from "Red Earth" by Janice D. Soderling who has two flash fictions in Synesthesia Volume 2:1. The second story (or is it a story?), "The Stonefish: Intelligent Protection Strategies and Natural Selection", appears on page 32. Soderling has published fiction, poetry, and translations in many international journals. She lives and writes in Sweden.
