what’s next?

A blur of a year for those who were lucky. A year of unimaginable loss for so many. There’s nothing unique I can say about the past year that hasn’t been expressed. I’m trying to move forward. Wrap my head around moving forward. Our small team is slowly and carefully returning to the work that builds this magazine, connecting with and encouraging community in a way that felt so far away this past year.

The level of disconnection, the upside-down state of things, the pain and grief we’re collectively feeling - these conditions might create a moment in which the stories of voices around us, the voices that fuel our communities and craft our connection to this place, deserve to be uncovered, collected, and published. Through self-expression and creative exploration, maybe we’ll make heads or tails of the ghoulish hellscape of the past year.
