FIYAH 11 was another great themeless issue of the magazine. Dean-Paul E. Stephens' "Pimento" was a great science fiction story about the rights of sentient beings and standing up for those rights. "Ibrahim and the Green Fishing Net" by Omar William Sow was a poetic love story beautifully told. While I'm never the biggest fan of the fantasy/dragon stories, Tamara Jerée's "When You Find a Dragon, Name Them for Me" had some wonderful symbolism that I really appreciated. I found Michele Tracy Berger's "Doll Seed" strangely compelling, although some of the narrative decisions felt a little left-field for me, I was always curious where Chevella's story was going to go next.
