Volume III, Issue II of The Uncommon Grackle - the sixth edition, and only edition in this continued pandemic year, of the Gateway Regional Arts Center’s literary zine. Currently published twice a year in Mt. Sterling, Ky., the Grackle features original, well-written fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, photography and art, and any other expression we can fit on a few pages.

Like a grackle, it’s voracious in approach, foraging on ideas in words and images that sometimes flash beautiful colors, that other times cry harshly, that at all times take flight in a flurry of enigmatic truth.
