This second issue of Heartlines Spec has poignancy running throughout. It's in the powerful stories that fill the space in your heart. The poems that grip your hand and whisper to you. The essays that lean forward, elbows on the table, to tell you something vital. It's a feeling of something that's not forlorn, not sad, not fluffy, but poignant—pain in the chest, funny flipflop heartbeat, and wistful smile with a shimmer of comfort.
