Nerve Cowboy is a biannual journal of poems and short fiction sensitive enough to make the hardest hard-ass cry, funny enough to make the most hopeless brooder laugh, and disturbing enough to make us all glad we're not the author of the piece.

Nerve Cowboy #48 is now available and it's pretty great. In this issue:

• Nerve Cowboy interviews the bad ass musician and artist Tim Kerr.
• A list of our favorite albums from the late great 2020.
• And oh yeah, a batch of the best poetry and short fiction in the small press today. Like this. And this. And this, this, and this.

You can order your own issue for $8 in our store. Or subscribe for crying out loud!
