Epigenetics
Diti Ronen
Translated by Joanna Chen
“A cold wind is also a voice / and distant music / a man turning over in his sleep / dreaming of home.”
Issue 25 | Fall 2021
Your Impossible Voice #25 opens with a story of love, loneliness, and DJs in Argentina, and closes with wayward Taco Bell bandits loose in the Buckeye state. In between, it delivers new short fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction exploring anaphylactic reactions to dust, languages that sound like bonfire flames, dollar-store groceries, golden molars and nectars, witchy weather apps, migraines, matricide, and so much more.
