On July 29, 2024, independent author Jake Nickens published "The Celestial Falls," the highly-anticipated conclusion to his four-part urban fantasy series.

"When tragedy suddenly upends [the Thin House], Finn Anglin must rally his allies to prevent the machinations of a relentless, otherworldly foe," the synopsis reads.

"In a climactic journey that spans physical and spiritual planes, Finn will be forced to utilize every skill and lesson learned over a lifetime of mystical adventures—or risk every corner of reality falling subject to an unthinkable horror."

Long-time readers will follow beloved characters through new and familiar realms as every plot point introduced in earlier novels coalesces into a thrilling, masterful conclusion to a series perpetually concerned with hope, humanity, and the nuances of existing in a complicated world.

"The Celestial Falls" is available for purchase on Amazon.

Julie Elise Landry edited the novel. ​Teo Skaffa designed the cover art.

On March 28, 2024, diode poetry journal published Julie Elise Landry's interview with Louisiana Poet Laureate Alison Pelegrin in the journal's 17th anniversary edition.

The interview focuses on Pelegrin's revision process. It was conducted via email in Fall 2022 for Carolyn Hembree’s course on poetry revision at the University of New Orleans in the Creative Writing Workshop MFA program.

diode poetry journal publishes "poetry that excites and energizes, and that uses language that crackles and sparks." Pelegrin’s poetry has appeared several times in diode poetry journal, and her chapbook Our Lady of the Flood was published by offshoot independent press Diode Editions.

Landry said, "I am honored that Alison Pelegrin shared her time and her reflective brilliance with me. I kept her book Hurricane Party close at hand for four years, reading from it as often as my own Katrina memories would allow, and I read the whole book in the wake of the 2016 Louisiana floods. Though I am not someone who leaves marks or notes in my books, I have flags on the pages of Hurricane Party to guide me quickly to my favorite poems."

Pelegrin has authored five poetry collections, including Our Lady of Bewilderment, published by LSU Press in 2022.

Backchannels Journal published Julie Elise Landry's poem "Everything, the Crumbs" in the April 2023 Poetry Edition of its online literary and arts journal. This is the first "all poetry" edition of Backchannels, which publishes new editions every quarter.

According to the publication's website, "By definition, a backchannel is a secondary, covert route for information; or, in linguistics, a backchannel is a sound or gesture one person makes to encourage the speaker to continue. Backchannels embraces both of these definitions, as we are committed to providing a unique route for writing and art publishing while encouraging all artists to continue their stories and interact with each other’s stories."

​"Everything, the Crumbs" is a poem about the poet's childhood bedroom—and the girl who lived there first.
