Held in Their Sight a River

NiftyLit #1

A reminiscence of a foggy November view, and the dying reflections of the one who sits in the window above it.

Sandra Kolankiewicz’s poems have been accepted at Fortnightly Review, Galway Review, The Healing Muse, New World Writing and Appalachian Review. She is the author of Turning Inside Out, The Way You Will Go and Lost in Transition.

Ella Jensen is a second year art major at Sonoma State University. They have spent their entire life admiring, creating, and finding all types of art in the world. NiftyLit is Ella’s debut as a working artist, which they are very stoked about. Ella is a nature-lover, a social justice advocate, and an intellectual bad-ass. Ella is very excited for the coming school year and to continue making their mark on the world.
