The Ocotillo Review Volume 5.2

Volume 5.2Summer 021Lust - Love - LongingOnce again we bring some of the worlds most profound scribes to play in our literary garden. As with all our previous summer issues this collection is thematic. Having been sequestered by the dasterdley Covid 19 virus for what often seems a lifetime we feel the desire to deal with the desire; those strong subcutaneous emotions that drive our head heart and hormones. We dubbed The Ocotillo Review Volume 5.2 as our Love Lust and Longing issue. When you toss a topic with such powerful energy into the mix you have to be ready to step up. The Kallisto Gaia Press editorial staff are neither shy nor reserved but we did have what one of our editors referred to as doozies. Yes I had to look it up. We took the best of the rather hefty batch of soul-stirring stories and poems brushed off any dust and here we present them for your reading pleasure.
