In the latest issue of Brevity, Sila Hansen pens a lovely flash craft essay (short essay on design) on an important aspect of good writing: "Against Being Good."

"For the same several years, I have failed miserably at writing this essay. I couldn’t figure out why. It felt dishonest, even when everything I wrote was “true.” I’ve put it aside and restarted it dozens of times..."

"Haint Nothing"

old ghost of the hills,
who lives in the wind
and waits for a name
to summon them back

in through the window
or a crack in the floor
in through the keyhole
or under the door

ol' haint, I ain't fear you
better walk right on by;
there's rice at my door,
and my porch painted blue
