A package sailed through the front door mail slot! Excited to see my nostalgic nonfiction flash “Artifacts of a Michigan Childhood” published in The MacGuffin. Hope you’ll check out this gorgeous journal!
Front cover of The MacGuffin (volume XL, number 2, April 2025), a literary journal published by Schoolcraft College in Michigan. The cover art “Switch Plate” by Jennifer Rodrigues features a burnished brass switch plate on a wallpapered wall. The opening paragraphs of nonfiction story “Artifacts of a Michigan Childhood” by Karin Hedetniemi. It begins: “My mother grew up in a 1936 house with a root cellar, a gnarly apple orchard, and a squeaky aluminum screen door with the letter A — for her father’s surname, but equally fitting for Arrowood, the street where she lived in Orchard Lake, Michigan.” Color photographs of flowers and leaves, by Jennifer Rodrigues, printed on glossy paper in the middle of The MacGuffin literary journal, April 2025.
