Tangled Lives

Tangled Locks Journal presents a collection of modern literary stories, poems, and essays drawn from its acclaimed online literary journal. The Journal connects writers and readers to elevate often marginalized voices, bringing their experiences to the forefront. In this collection, you will find beauty, grief, irreverence, and humor. These pieces showcase gorgeous writing and imagination. From a heart-breaking visit to one's former home, to a passionate ode to one's periods, to the joy of love, these stories, poems and essays breathe life into ordinary and extraordinary experiences.

Not everything is as it seems when you delve into the complexity of our tangled lives.
