Editorial Statement in Advance of Issue 5: Collections & Lists

by Amberupdated on September 1, 2020September 1, 2020

2020 Update: or When You’re Too Sad for Sad Girl Review

by Amberupdated on September 1, 2020July 15, 2020

I started Sad Girl Review after I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in 2018. It brought structure to my days and months at an uncertain time in my life.

  • 💔 From Issue 4: Crush, Nicola Kapron deals with some big feels in her bold poem Bottom-Feeder. Nicola studies at @viuniversity where she writes fiction (especially fantasy, sci-fi, and horror) but occasionally trips into non-fiction or poetry. 🐟 Bottom-Feeder by Nicola Kapron The sky of my world is the ocean of yours. I could soar into the stratosphere and still be nothing more than a bottom feeder. Gutless tube worm, knife-faced goblin shark, is this what you see when I paddle up to meet you? Angels fly overhead. You leave with them and come back hours later, stinking of booze and bad decisions. Expecting me to forgive you. My fins could carry me no higher, but I watched, jealous, as the clouds kissed the waves. The rain fell and I forgot what your smile does to me– or at least, I wished to forget. I do not want to think of you again. But since when do we have wishes granted? You are still plucking flowers, “She loves me, she loves me, she loves me,” and I am blowing dandelion fluff into the void. And so I lie dreaming of deep water, counting the days till your fishing line snaps. Counting the names on the palm of your hand. You wrote down all your soulmates to keep track. It might have worked, but you kept adding more. “I'm sorry, I'll be better, we'll fix this.” You lie and lie and nothing changes. I'll either starve with your hook in my mouth or bite off your hand to get free. I cannot breathe your air much longer. Someone will have to die for us to get off this ride. I hope it's you. Please, god, let it be you.
