FLUENCY

A LITERARY ZINE

Spanning surreal landscapes and time, FLUENCY transports readers to dystopian futures, haunted houses, and the intimate life of a baby-snatching fae. The eight short stories blend elements of horror and myth into their narratives.

​

“The poetry and prose in this collection will take you on an uneasy, but deeply necessary, journey through the meaning of body, of sense and loss; how the bonds of trust and language can tunnel toward a shared truth. Swann finds precision and music in image. I lost track of how many times paused to linger and whisper yes. Like a character you’ll find in these pages, Swann crafts “her own language of song and sound.” The result is tender & exquisite.” — Tina Higgins Wussow, Host of Duluth’s Writer's Salon
