Bluff & Vine: Issue Nine: A Literary Review
Winter, spring, summer and autumn—sail with us through the seasons of the year and the seasons of life in this ninth edition of Bluff & Vine, the premiere literary magazine of the Finger Lakes.
Stories of summer strawberries and winter shoveling invite you into the extremes of wild growth and crystal dormancy that shape the rhythms of life in our region.
No less evocative are the pieces that lie in the spaces between being and hopeful spring nesting, brittle autumn gardens, times of infinite potential.
All this plus race cars at the Glen, algal blooms on Seneca, Elmira’s half-moon cookies, and many more of the shared forces that blend with the personal and intimate to make life in the Finger Lakes so distinct.
