ISSUE 27 · THE BROOM Dear readers, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all online literary journals are not created equal, that some are endowed by their contributors with a certain je ne sais quoi, that among these is La Petite Zine and the pursuit of writing that is neither internet trough slop nor dainty hand-stitched timid lamb. LPZ #27 is a holy wandering nurse, a red lick of wilderness, an obsessive snow-removal campaign. She will wrap you up nice and tight, suck marrow from the bomb, dial John Wayne Gacy and deep-fry your breadcrumbs. La liberté n'est pas un au revoir. xoxo, Melissa Broder chief editor D.W.
