Joshua Sabatini
Read my latest short story published in the Spring 2026 issue of the Twisted Vine Literary Arts Journal.
The Eagle
“The warm air hung still around Massimo Segantini and Rosa Cruz…”
Fiction
"‘Wise Ones’ stood out to me as I traversed the form of it, as if I haven't read such a story as this. Yes, authors like Faulkner come to mind, but the deliberate focus in connecting the voice through long sentences in long paragraphs is unusual.
The mood of the story catches the voice (or is it the other way) in a remarkable discussion of what is human.”
—Sandra Fluck, editor of The Write Launch
Essay
"What if death wasn’t a tragedy but a homecoming? This wild, unfiltered journal from the plains tears down society’s fear of death, ego, and nature itself."
—The Brussels Review
