For our 9th issue of The Bitter Magazine, we’ve put democracy on the cover.
About that powerful art? It’s a painting, "For The Love of It" by Cedric Smith. We imagine you’re already thinking of ways to frame it.
The pages inside Issue 9 are just as strong. Writers like Kiese Laymon speak hard and good truths. Our feature story on President Jimmy Carter, Jim Barger’s "Unwavering" will inspire. There’s also farm stories, food stories, magical earth stories and rock n' roll, because that’s our America, too.
