“The boys you grew up with crowd around parking

“The boys you grew up with crowd around parking lots, breaking bottles over each other’s tiny heads. Masculinity is saying, That didn’t hurt, when it did; saying, That isn’t blood, when it is.” From: Take the Tender Out by Kari Teicher in EVENT 49/2

“When the water spills from the drainage holes,

“When the water spills from the drainage holes, I stop. Jiro watches me, his palms pressed hard against the floor, on edge. Like I might smash the tree and throw it on the ground, do something violent without meaning. The juniper’s soil glistens with moisture. Stray drops of water dot the trunk, glow like worlds in the mint-green canopy. Copper bands of light spray through the window slats high up on the wall. Dawn.” Read the full excerpt from Jason Jobin’s “Over Kawaguchi” on our website, and find the full story in EVENT 49/2. Illustration by Amelia Wiygul.

In this book, that’s reversed—the unhappiness is out there for everyone to see, but there is joy lingering under the surface and I kind of prefer it that way.” Read the full interview at eventmagazine.ca and find Susan’s Journey Prize long-listed short story, “The Rest of Him”, in EVENT 48/1
