Poetry

Choices
Poetry by Leysa Robertson
Poetry Feature

At age forty-five, Leysa Robertson made a conscious choice to share her poetry and prose with others. We at Kudzu Monthly are proud to introduce her down-to-earth, original poetry, and we're sure you'll like her style. Enjoy!

U.S. History

King of the Confederate Counterfeit
Priscilla Rhoades

Returning for a second time, Priscilla Rhoades presents another supremely well-researched U.S. history article. Her topic is Samuel Curtis Upham, top counterfeiter of the Union cause. She's included an example of an original and a faked ten-dollar Confederate bill. See if you can spot the difference!

Visual

The Life Art of Bonnie Everett-Hawkes
September Visual Feature

Kudzu Monthly was happy to receive a submission from artist Bonnie Everett-Hawkes, but her work was so varied and so excellent that we decided to limit this visual feature to her drawings and charcoal powder images of people. Please leave a comment for this artist if you enjoy seeing her work here.

Writers Wanted!

If you are an aspiring or established fiction author, a non-fiction writer with an interest in U.S. history, health, or true crime, a poet, a photographer, or an artist, Kudzu Monthly would welcome your submissions. Please see the Guidelines page for submission information.
 

Fiction

The Rivers
James Waine Carpenter

Kudzu Monthly is again proud to present an original story by song-writer, muscian, author James Waine Carpenter. His folksy style and content resonates with editors and readers alike, and we're sure you'll enjoy this excellent example of the art of story telling.

Ninety
Lamar Stonecypher

He's ninety-years-old today, and his children throw him a birthday party. Okay, it's sentimental and sappy, but it's also dedicated to the managing editor's grandmother, who is ninety this year!

Health

Ancient Cure, Modern Miracle
Lisa J. Binkley

Miracle drug? Health columnist (and fiction editor) Lisa Binkley assumed a historic stance in presenting this month's article. What's old and what's new? Read this to discover what traditional drug the Prussians were forced to surrender.

Non-fiction

Clickety-Clack, Please Come Back
John Tackett

Texas newsman and author John Tackett again affirms that "what goes around, comes around." This article is about an old mode of transport made new.
