We Were All Okay With It

Thank you to Sandi Wisenberg for publishing “We Were All Okay With It” in Another Chicago Magazine’s “Dispatches from a Pandemic” feature. I’m proud to be included in this publication.

From ACM’s website: “For a long time now, ACM has believed that everything is political, and has been partial to writing that confronts injustice and inequality, though not in didactic or polemical ways. We have always encouraged writing that jumped past the conventional and traditional to, as the (disgraced) bard said, “make it new.” ACM has encouraged play and rage and courageous attempts. Contributors have included writers from Chicago and from afar, neophytes to established writers, Charles Bukowski to Samantha Irby.

Always ACM has valued work that pushes the conventions stylistically, publishing experimental writers such as Ander Monson and Michael Martone. ACM also published the early work of David Sedaris, Jennny Boully, Ira Sukrungruang, and Kathleen Rooney, among others.”
