The Nib #5 by Matt Bors
4.0

Another strong issue of The Nib magazine! The standout stories for me from this collection were "Cages Lives" by Mansoor Adayfi and Kane Lynch about the animals seen by prisoners in Guantanamo; "Bleating Heart" by Arwen Donahue about raising goats for milk and meat; "The Legend of Boto Cor-De-Rosa" by Laura Athayde about a Brazilian myth of a dolphin who transforms into a seductive man and how it covers a culture of male violence; and "Stealing Rainbows" by Dorian Alexander, Sarah Mirk, and Levi Hastings about the illegal smuggling of tropic birds.
