No More Ads on Junk

Yes, that’s right: Advertisements will no longer sully the fine stories published at Junk. We hadn’t considered it a problem at first, but as we have grown more popular, the ads began to appear more regularly.

Finally we decided that we had had enough. No more ads. This decision has raised our expenses a bit, but we figured it was a good time to invest. We really like what’s happening with the journal.

It’s so exciting.

Quiescence by Leslie F. Miller

April is National Poetry Month in the United States. To celebrate, we offer a poem from Leslie F. Miller. Her work is somehow both surprising and intimate. We think you’ll love it. You should know that she created Quiescence from words suggested by her Facebook friends. Amazing.

We’re very proud to present it.

Also note that Leslie is an accomplished photographer. Her photo “box” accompanies her poem.
