		<description><![CDATA[Jessica Barksdale is a Spring 2012 StS fiction contributor. It was thrilling to see my short story “Salsa” in the latest edition of So to Speak.

		<title>Book Review: Arco Iris by Sarah Vap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“I move/ to keep things whole,” writes Mark Strand, “wherever I am/ I am what is missing.” The paradox of having a complete experience is knowing time moves.

		<title>What? You Birth at Home AND You’re a Feminist?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was pregnant three weeks after I was married. It was unexpected, delaying my undergraduate graduation for longer than I care to admit and derailing my plans for graduate school until a later season in my life. I was just getting comfortable in my feminist skin, full of enthusiasm for equality and full agency for women [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Hey, the 1950s called, they want their stereotype back,” I said during a somewhat intense debate last night.
