long con magazine, a Canadian journal, just published a story of mine August 31, 2021 in its Issue 8 (under my birth name): longconmag.com/issue-8. It’s an ekphrastic piece based on Degas’ painting of the same title: “The Glass of Absinthe.” Back in my UCSB days, as an art history major, the painting was one of the most intriguing we studied and became one of my favorites. Click on the bottom row, third square from the left to see my story. But also check out the other authors’ stories. Well worth it!
