Permission

By Ingrid Fernandez

For me, it's permission to write. What will you give yourself permission to do? Permission features essays and flash fiction by Ingrid Fernandez, as well as contributions of interviews, essays, fiction, poetry and visual art by contributing artists.

You are going to breathe a little easier and move a little lighter reading permission stories by Ingrid.
