Starting this Thursday, we’ll be posting selections from volume 56 directly to our website. Every week we’ll have a new poem, short story, or art piece under the “Highlights” tab. No need to lug around your dog-eared copy of volume 56 anymore. (But don’t worry– you can still view the whole magazine, Easter eggs and all, under our “Past issues” page.)

We want your Nova to be your Nova. Think of Highlights as quick bites– a way to catch a poem or a painting in the middle of your day, in between everything else. Life is often busy and ugly, but there are flashes of beauty: leaves speckled in sunlight, the after traffic hush, and the Nova Highlight in your inbox, your Instagram, your website.
