Welcome
Qarrtsiluni (2005-2013) was a groundbreaking online literary magazine, one of the first to fully exploit blog software. Though we never quite realized our dream of creating a print-on-demand option for each issue, being online does mean that our back issues remain accessible indefinitely, so there's that. And we published some damn fine stuff — check it out.

The orbweaver, like almost everything else in nature, seems miraculous. In my yard, it only migrated into my life a few years ago. Suddenly I could not exit my house without finding a web around my face. Yet when I examined the designer closely, I found a spider with colors and arrangement more like a piece of candy than anything intending harm. Indeed, my inconvenience seems less than that of the spider, whose dinner table I have destroyed. Yet, the next morning, with greater persistence than I can brag, the toy spider looks back at me from a new, equally ornate and precious home in the same place.
