And how, at heart, it’s ridiculous to publish a magazine, and a fiction magazine at that, and how, it has to be covered with words, because the words are images, or become that way when you read them.

This issue of literary magazine Heavy Traffic features new fiction from Linda Yablonsky, Natasha Stagg, Sam Kriss, Keller Easterling, Sierra Armor, Kyle Chayka, Sedrick Chisom, Sean Thor Conroe, Cara Schacter, & Jasper Baydala.
