… TAP TAP TAP… is this thing on? Happy New Year? 

We hope that NDQ readers come to the NDQ blog from time to time. Each week we try to publish something new and different. Often it’s a poem, story, or essay from a volume of NDQ. Sometimes it’s an update on the next issue. Other times it’s something unique to the blog for an editor or a contributor.  

It goes without saying that NDQ relies on our outstanding contributors, editors, and subscribers to thrive. Please consider submitting to NDQ, subscribing, or downloading our previous volume.  For some content from NDQ 86.1/2, click here, and for content from our most recent issue, 86.3/4, click here.
