Mark Antony Rossi: The Love of Humanity

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/cAtzHUz7Z8g) 3.7.2021. Something Immovable About Dietrich Bonhoeffer I was fascinated with Dietrich Bonhoeffer years before I ever set foot in West Germany. As a young adult I heard his name in my Methodist church. My teenage interpretation was Bonhoeffer was the religious guy who went back to Germany to kill Hitler. It was a sexy slant to construct a modern day Christian hero. The ancient tales from the Bible are much

Matthew McGuirk: The Invisible Man

I tried not to think of whose lips the cigarette had gone to before mine when I picked it off the street before high priced loafers kicked it along or snuffed it out. I remember smiling when I spied a blanket someone stuffed in a black trash bag in the big,

Hey there, Fat Lady here-- at least one of many. And, in between plates, I’ve got something to say: First, how are you doing? Is quarantine getting you down? Are you feeling listless, restless, tactless and a teensy bit bored? I’m right there with you. I know this essay is a hefty heaping. I know we are used to one minu

Željka Bašanović Marković: Visine

Image: Unsplash, preuzeto https://unsplash.com/photos/BRlvvBYeyqw (8.5.2021.) Dete Kad sam bio mali voleo sam da se penjem na uzvišenja. Ako ih nije bilo, ređao bih cigle kao kakav pijedastal i ponosno stajao na njih. Stegao bih besnice i uzdigao obe ruke savijene u laktovima. Mali i nerazvijeni mišići nabubrili bi. Sebi sam izgledao snažan. Kada bi me odrasli videli smejali su se i govorili da siđem. Odbijao sam. Šta su oni znali o tome?! Ne možeš govoriti o visinama ako nis

Guinotte Wise: Just For The Love Of It

Curve Balls and Country Music: Remembering Charley Pride He would probably have risen to the top of baseball, had he chosen that profession, and broken through the white barrier. I just know this; he had the work ethic of a Turkish soldier and he didn’t know the meaning of “no” or “impossible.”That’s obvious, isn’t it? He made his own openings. Charley Pride was a talented athlete at six foot one

Jelena Zlatar Gamberožić: The Man Upstairs

Image: Unsplash, preuzeto https://unsplash.com/photos/H9K0fOYlFVA (28.2.2021.) Amen Sestra odlazi dalje s obećanjem da će već od večere krenuti moj novi režim prehrane. Vjerujem joj i radujem se svom sljedećem obroku, juhi u maloj limenoj zdjelici. Ako je uspijem ne povratiti barem pola sata ili čak sat vremena, što se još nije dogodilo, minerali će ući u moj organizam. Nešto će otići i bebi, iako je ona osigurana, uzima iz mog tijela sve što joj je potrebno i raste bez probl
