🌱 "thaw" issue ~ out now!
Editor's Note
Greetings readers,
Nearly three years later, we are still committed as ever to uplifting underrepresented voices. This selection includes a record 15 authors, with each of them sharing a piece of their world to be immersed into or make part of your own. From poetry of love and longing to pencil shades which compel a reflection, you’ll begin the year with just the right words and pictures in mind.
It was quite enjoyable to organize this new collection of work, and I thank all contributors for their hard work and talent. In this same light, I sincerely hope you enjoy every page we have to offer. Let both new voices inspire you and returning voices remind you that there are few things more worth cherishing than art and literature.
~ Michael O’Hare
