To our beloved readers, contributors, supporters, and friends: With heavy hearts, we announce today that High Desert Journal is finally closing its doors. We are endlessly grateful to the many, many brilliant voices and stories we had the honor of sharing with you over these 18 years, and we will remain equally as dedicated to preserving them. All of our issues will remain available online at highdesertjournal.com, and our 19 print issues will be available in perpetuity via the University of Idaho Library's Special Collections & Archives. Please, if you have a moment, read this letter from Founding Editor Elizabeth Quinn. With love and gratitude, The High Desert Journal Staff https://www.highdesertjournal.org/the-latest/hdj-closes-its-doors (fb)

Here are our 2022 #pushcart nominations! If you missed any of these (or any of the other wonderful pieces we published this year) we encourage you to check them out at highdesertjournal.org. Congratulations and best of luck to these fantastic writers. (fb)
