The Miller's Damsel A Literary Journal of New Writing and Art

About

A miller’s damsel was a device that fed grain into the eye of a grist mill’s grinding stones. It served as a rhythmic agitator that assisted the grain’s flow. Without the damsel’s tapping motion, the grain wouldn’t feed properly, which would either slow the milling process or damage the stones.
We welcome all submitters but invite especially LGBTQIA+ writers to send us work.
