In dit nummer

For 2021’s last breaths and into the new 2022, let us breathe deep, and talk. At the end of our conversations, whatever differences we have, let us celebrate our strengths and allow for a few beautiful ways. As Ra-ina discovers in Shea E. Butler’s The Awakening, let us find the voices which save us, and stand tall where we ought. Let’s laugh at the ironic, as Mr. Tezozomoc proves between Uncle and Nephew in A Canticle for the Land. We can also fight for the battles which keep our safety in tandem with our freedoms, as Thomas plans in Mouth of the River Part 4 by returning contributor Elyssa Campbell. Tim Hickson, of the widely popular YouTube & Nebula channel Hello Future Me shatters a sense of the Other with Panstellar, where even the stars… I won’t spoil it. Kate Meyer-Currey and Charles Halsted wrote poems about the exhaustion of health care providers in Gloves and Bucket of Blood, while Kate Keenan of Big Bend Literary Magazine wrote of palliative care based on the last days of her Grandmother, a story she and I share in detail. Even making the bed. Matthew Buscemi gives us three pieces, two reviews Cogito & Dim Shadow and Hear Ye Hear Ye, a fantasy romp. Geoff Sawers rounds out our poetry with Aperiodic Comet, where Stephen Skinner debuts with his sci-fi tale At the Anchorite’s Shore. Visual artists Marissa Wagner and Laura Becker round out the fiction, poetry and review with digital art pieces both vibrant and impactful. We hope you enjoy.
Here’s to healing, hard fought and won.
