Today's story in my daily story/poem recs newsletter is my favorite story I read in January:
"The Pigeon Wife" by Samantha H. Chung in the 2023 Nov/Dec issue of F&SF, edited by Sheree Renée Thomas!
The best folktale retelling in recent memory & also about workers' rights, and a lot more.

Today I'm reccing “Seven Commentaries on an Imperfect Land” by Ruthanna Emrys, a very sweet story about sharing magic and growing community
https://www.tor.com/2014/08/20/seven-commentaries-on-an-imperfect-land-ruthanna-emrys/
In "When the Fish Move On" @ktlynauthor paints a vivid world, and a lonely figure who doesn't realise how lost they are until someone starts to follow them.

In "Come Tide or Ebb", by Sophia-Maria Nicolopoulos, the boundary between human civilisation and the natural world is steadily being redrawn.
https://sarah-i-jackson.ghost.io/inner-worlds-1-come-tide-sophia-maria-nicolopoulos/
"Phalanges (Wings)" by @greene offers a darkly beautiful fantasy of transformation, escape, and acceptance.
