Reading reviews like these always make my day, even more so—seeing my book received the way I intended—and sometimes even in ways I didn't expect! 🥹

I value every review, rating, DM, photo—all of it! I can't thank everyone enough for giving my book a chance 🩶🫂

🖋️

Like the first time, this set of reviewers are both incredible writers themselves. I HIGHLY recommend checking out their profiles, and their links in their bios!!!

Where I live, we are fortunate to have water delivered to our underground tanks once a week.

We have not had electricity since the war began, so filling the overhead tank manually allows water to flow through the pipes, but before my invention, we had to carry 5-gallon buckets of water up many stairs.

With my invention, I can now use an 18-amp battery charged by solar energy to pump water for 5 hours each day, saving us the hard work.

Donating to this innovative young Gazan is a powerful way to support a pioneering solution to a critical issue.

There are countless families in the same situation who could be helped by this inexpensive and effective technology.

Access to clean water is essential to the health and resilience of a community, and in a food crisis, conserving as much physical energy as possible is essential too.

Your contribution can help provide this life-changing invention to those in need, empowering individuals and changing lives in Gaza.🍉🙏

It's here! The NEW ISSUE of Wild Roof Journal is live on our website: wildroofjournal.com.
_
As always, the submissions that were in contention for this issue were impressive, so congratulations to 47 artists and writers who made the cut!
_
This piece is the cover image of the new issue. It is by Margaret Wiss and is part of a photo series titled "up in the air."
_
If you're familiar with our previous issues, you'll encounter another evocative selection of visual and literary art. If you are just discovering Wild Roof Journal, I hope you like what you find! Our goal here is to create a welcoming environment in which people can share their work with the larger creative community.
_
Also, note that there is a PDF download of the issue available for purchase--$3.00. AND there are mountain postcards now available in the shop page. Perfect for your own poetry postcard project! You can DM me here as well, if you're interested.
_
Thanks for reading.
