Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet

Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 36

This electronical edition was shot into the sky, bounced off the moon, and floated gently into the internet. There are names you may know and, excitingly, names you may not. This zine: always and forever a good read. Here: Two Poems. There: Three Poems of the Abyss. New fiction from Maria Romasco Moore, Leslie Wilber, Howard Waldrop, Izzy Wasserstein, and James Sallis — who returns to LCRW for the first time since LCRW #14. Nicole Kimberling's column "Sweet, Sweet Side Dish" might be about what you're thinking of, if you're thinking of eggplant. Those two, three, three — and then one more — poems are from Holly Day, Juan Martinez, Catherine Rockwood, and Michael Werner. We stretched out the backpages and included a bonus story from a collection we published within the last five years.

Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 37

In LCRW 39 your neighbor’s secrets are exposed. Yours too, sorry. Whereas in this here LCRW 38, it is the pure fictive product poured upon the page, dried in the sun, and brought to you by the lovely people at your local indie bookstore. Then we take that dried paper page and feed it gently into the ebookulator which produces this ebook for you, your very own readerly self.

This is Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet issue number 38, July 2018. ISSN 1544-7782. Ebook ISBN: 9781618731487. 

Print edition text: Bodoni Book. Titles: Imprint MT Shadow. (On your ereader you can probably choose your own font.)

Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 38

This is the issue in which we promised your neighbor’s secrets would be exposed. Your secrets too. So sorry to be the bearer of bad news: the secrets, they have been exposed. Check CNN right now. Or, look under that thing at the back of your fridge. The list of neighborhood secrets should be there on a very small piece of paper we are very proud to have folded 12 times. Some people find the 9th through 12th folds difficult, but these wristlets, they really make the difference. Fiction, poetry, a little nonfiction (including a lovely recipe for pickled kumquats), and an absurd amount of hope and despair.

Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 39

The contents of this zine were produced under pressure but contain a short break and distraction from the everyday.

Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 40

This is issue Forty (Extraordinary) One of Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet which is being published in June of 2020 and is being sent out free to subscribers as a bonus to add joy to this daily more complicated world. (Contributors were paid the usual rates.)

Readers who’d like to support the zine are encouraged to subscribe, mais oui, but also to donate to Color of Change, buy books through Black-owned bookstores such as Frugal Bookstore, and bookstores damaged or closed in the civil unrest as we try and change our world, including DreamHaven, Uncle Hugo’s, Magers & Quinn, and Moon Palace.

Read some excellent short fiction and reset your weary head. A handful of stories by authors known and unknown.

Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 41

LCRW 42. After all this time, here’s the answer? Or: a fabulous and topical new novella from Sarah Langan with a few more delights added.

This is the latest issue of our twice-annual zine — 25% of subscribers (not too many in warmer climes) choose the chocolate version — in which we have fictions, poetries, a cooking column (extra useful in these times), and sometimes a few odd other things.

Peace!

Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 42

Four score and three issues ago this zine did not exist. Two score 
and three issues ago LCRW popped into being just like the big bang — but
 with less burning hot plasma and fewer planets forming. The formation included a twice-yearly space for fiction, poetry, and later, when the spinning slowed enough not to spill everything, a cooking column from Nicole Kimberling.

Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet No. 44

May: gone. June: gone. July: moving fast. Here are gods, snakes, death, and demons. On the lighter, crunchier side: carrots and apples. Twice a year this zine slips out into this world, less internationally than it used to. Maybe I just need to stand at airports and offer it as in-flight reading? Maybe I can persuade an airline to make it their in-flight magazine? How refreshing it would be to pull LCRW out of the seat pocket. Since LCRW only comes out twice a year, that leaves 10 months to be filled in with other zines. Airlines, ping me. We can make this work.

In the meantime, good things are here.

LCRW 47, the May, the June, the July, the August, the September of this year issue. 

Made by
Gavin J. Grant
& Kelly Link. 

As in my LCRW 46 note, I am chronically ill and limited 
compared to the previous times. I’m still planning (hoping? how 
zine-esque of me) on two issues of this zine this year. But we have two 
books coming, Anya’s (OKPsyche) and Kij’s (The Privilege of the Happy Ending) — two writers from the Twin Cities, how 
unexpected — which is enough to keep me busy and then Kathleen Jennings’s 
January collection, Kindling. Then next February Random House is 
publishing Kelly’s huge immersive, amazing novel, The Book of Love. 
Can’t wait to see it out in the world. — Gavin

Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 47

A surprisingly quick turnaround from the previous issue, mere months,
 a blink in the (imagined) eye of a tree that one day may become a 
future issue of this zine. The chocolate has barely been bought but many
 stories have been read and these two (just two? one of them is quite
 long) rose to the top of our particular list. We have a suitcase full 
of stories to look in for the next issue which should be out next May.

This issue features Jessica Bromley Bartram’s nonchalant individual 
on, as are we all, their way somewhere. May the place we’re going be 
filled with excellent fiction, unexpected poetry and art, a helping hand
 from a fabulous cook, chocolate for those so inclined, and peace in our
 time.
