New from Joshua Escobar: Demons of Eminence
In Demons of Eminence a young traveling ICU nurse and self-described “cumdump” observes and sanctifies the friendship between an aging gay porn star and a goth chola dropout half his age, one that leads to them throwing endless parties in the industrial scrublands of SoCal’s Inland Empire at the height of the pandemic.
Issue 31 | Fall 2024
Your Impossible Voice #31 finds the doomsday clock ticking twenty days from the apocalypse. It’s chock-full of liars, the lost, and the lonely floating in fog and hungry for cake, eggs, and kink. All that plus Allen Ginsberg, Frida Kahlo, and a magnificent tower of giraffes.

Issue 30 | Spring 2024
Issue thirty is searching, seeking, straining for roots, for mothers, for stylish shoes, and The Truth. It’s about mysterious X-rays and golden crabs, motorcycles and masquerades, joyful silences and mild underhavens. It’s voyeuristic, nostalgic, and completely out to sea.

Issue 29 | Fall 2023
Issue 29 brings flirty game wardens, nuns in a cavern, mysterious transmissions, the world’s youngest knife thrower, the names of Argentina’s rivers, streams, and lakes, the fountain of youth, gray dawns, and ferocious appetites. It’s about war, lies and misinformation, languages and language, erasures, brutal occupations, bad reasons for enlisting, and signs that refract so deeply we can’t trace their path back to the world. It’s about sinister radio signals from the fillings in your teeth or maybe over there among the trees.

Our 2024 Best of the Net Nominees
Your Impossible Voice is pleased to nominate the following extraordinary works for Sundress Publication’s Best of the Net anthology.
Issue 28 | Spring 2023
Issue 28 explores the politics of domesticity, the confusion of desire, and dreams of mysterious strangers, flying over borders, and living under a seat in an abandoned movie theater like a desperate, hunched troll. All that, plus tropical maladies, suicidal impulses, sexual obsession, decaying memories, stolen trucks, honking cars, creepy houses, electric crickets, humiliation, and writers who die too young. It’s a vulnerable issue — truthful and deluded.
Featuring new short fiction, poetry, CNF, translations, and art from Cástulo Aceves (translated by Michael Langdon), Victoria Ballesteros, Nikki Barnhart, Sophie Bebeau, Israel Bonilla, Ellis Elliott, Vilde Fastvold (translated by Wendy H. Gabrielsen), Bo Huston, J.G. Jesman, Marream Krollos, Edward Lee, Marina Mariasch (translated by Ellen Jones), Blue Neustifter, Evan Nicholls, Dale Peck, Matthew Roberson, Evan Williams, and David Wojciechowski.
