Good Morning! We're kicking off the week with a new book review. Check out Arborescent by Marc Herman Lynch! Review by Will Fawley.

Have you checked out our latest call for submissions? "Maybe more than ever, especially since the pandemic uprooted our normal lives, people have been turning to animals for comfort and joy as a way to reduce the anxiety many of us are feeling from isolation and disconnection.
