Theme for Issue #1: Home 

Home is not one thing. It can be a shelter or a threat, a place in the world or a place within yourself.

We invite works of visual art and poetry that explore the theme of home in all forms. Home can be a place, a memory, a body, a language, a person, a ritual, or even a dream you’re still chasing.

We’re interested in pieces that explore what home means to you, whether it be comfort or conflict, belonging or becoming, resisting or recovering, and anything in between.

We want to know how your creative voice resonates with this theme and look forward to reviewing your work.
