The feral word seeks a space where people can talk about the terrible, the taboo, the true, and burrow into surface stories to find what hides and grows there, even if it means getting our hands dirty.

The feral word is run by Dawnell Smith, a writer, artist and feral mother who lives in Anchorage, Alaska. She champions worms and grit, dirt and debris, and all that sifts through it.

The work in the feral word is written and published here by Dawnell except where otherwise noted.
