In truth, it wasn't always beautiful.
It wasn't always sweet. 
Sometimes,
clumsy and rough and loud,
we had no idea what we were doing.
We broke strings and grew hoarse.
We bit our lips, chafed and bled.
But hell, we all tried.


- from "Little to do with Rain"

winner of the William Van Dyke
​Short Story Prize

​LEIGH CLAIRE SCHMIDLI thinks of many places as home: from Bangkok to Den Haag, from the Midwestern U.S. to the South. She writes poetry, essays, and fiction, enjoys reading work with lyrical leanings, and cooks elaborate meals that remind her of all the places she calls home. She’ll use ginger in just about anything, even a story.
