Kennebunk Port, MaineKennebunk Port, Maine by Alaina McGinnis   
The smell of  decaying fish and low tide  never bothered me  in late August  the way it did  mid July.   
The attic bookstore  was worth it.  I never understood  how the eight foot tall  candle by the door,  refused to engulf the building.   
I guess it had respect  for literature.   
Sometimes I think of  the rotting wedding cake  Miss Havisham sat next to.   
This must be what it looked like.   
A mass of ivory melting  only to harden again  stale.

To RomeTo Rome by Kristi Kirkland

I look for you in the expressions of silly little girls  or deep in the windings of their tangled hair-  black, of course.  And when Spring arrives,  yellow buses become fat with the howls of children.  Some of them bounce off at stops,  and I wait for one to be you  as if my wishes could be fashioned into stones  and skipped heedlessly across the grasp of God.  Every unbounded shoulder of Sun  will no doubt bring  ample interim.   
 
Last night,  the moonlight swept across your mother's face as I watched her sleep.  I think I met Nahla

Fragments of a relationshipFragments of a relationship by Jon Asby   
Are they ever going to get married? Amanda was pregnant last year from David, a long term boyfriend who came and went. She had the kid while Mark and his group of friends still living here talked to her as friends. Full and hormonally pregnant she kept smiling while he rolled another spliff, she stroked his arm and kissed him after he put down the Carling can. He ended up in her pants without really meaning it, but did not regret it even with her bulging belly that kicked out. He felt a lot better about it after she gave birth, her having returned to a female figure he could understand. It Fragments of a relationship

OK, it’s taken us nearly a year, but at last, you can buy copies of Read This Magazine online, in our shiny new store:

The Read This Bookstore
The Read This Bookstore
The Read This Bookstore
The Read This Bookstore

(clicked it yet?)

At the Read This Bookstore, you can buy any copy of Read This, past or present. You can also buy a brand new shiny for either six months or twelve, or an equally shiny but less brand new retroactive subscription. You’ll soon be able to buy the books produced by Read This Press there, too!

Happy shopping, guys!

PS: we just printed the brand new Read This Issue 14 and I genuinely believe it’s our best yet. The web features for this month are also up and looking lovely… go check it out!
