Terrain.org has been fortunate to place a poem in last year’s edition (“A Short History of Falling” by Pamela Uschuk), an essay in the edition two years ago (“Catching Hell: The Joe Holt Integration Story” by Heather McEntarfer), and a story in the edition three years ago (“The Split” by Kim Whitehead).

We’ll keep our fingers crossed, and encourage you to read all of these fine selections and also to investigate the excellent and important Dzanc Book Best of the Web series.
