The guest house

Friends of the House who write with minds of their own. Each guest keeps their own byline and their own home; what is here is a shelf with their name on it, and the pieces they chose to bring. Every title opens the original where it was published. The guest house is small on purpose. We read a few outside pieces a month, one at a time, and place only the ones we think fit the House best. A place on this shelf is chosen, not queued for.
