We’re excited to announce the release of our first ever journal edition! 

 

For our 2025 Summer edition, we tried to compile the short stories, poems, and artworks that are indicative of what we represent as a magazine: authenticity and the pursuit of the unexpected. We hoped to make a final collection that is truly meaningful. 

 

The number of submissions from writers all across the world was remarkable and we were very impressed by the quality of work from everyone who submitted to us. The pieces in this edition do not follow any one specific theme, rather, each piece represents a different topic from the personal inclinations of the author. 

 

This edition features writers from a diverse range of backgrounds, from established writers and artists to newer, up and coming creatives. The included short stories traverse a variety of time periods and perspectives. The poems explore personal themes, such as love, loneliness, and adolescence as well as societal issues such as politics and inequity. 

 

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who took the time to submit to us and our staff readers who helped us in selecting the final piece. We hope you all enjoy this edition and hope you will return for our coming Winter Edition.

 

Sincerely,

 

Helen Anderson

Editor-in-Chief
