Under the abalone.

The trip that my family and I took to Xian back in our first year in China gave me all kinds of good juju. The latest bit of it to find a home is called "Under the Abalone," which can be read in its entirety here in Issue 2 of Salt Flats Annual. It's a great issue, focusing on place, with fiction by Girija Tropp, and nonfiction by Jim Ruland, Jai Clare, Pia Ehrhardt, Carol Novack, and longtime hero of mine Melanie Rae Thon.
