Issue 16

Issue 16 brings together a powerful chorus of voices, including K-Ming Chang, Tommy Kha, Golden, Ashia Ajani, Malcolm Peacock, mai c. doan, Allana Clarke, and more. Through poetry, prose, and visual art, this issue reflects on the beauty and resilience of our collective existence. In these works, gratitude emerges as a practice, and resistance remains ever-present, offering a reminder of hope amidst life’s challenges.

A photograph of a light wooden surface and a masc-presenting person’s half-visible face. The upper-half of the photograph is printed on blue puzzle pieces, the shape revealing a face with dark hair, one strand hanging over their eye. There are a few missing puzzle pieces in the upper left hand corner.
