Issue 05

This issue features the works of over 40 writers and artists, reigning from PDX and beyond. This publication contains a variety of poems, short fiction, photography, paintings, and drawings. It seeks to present themes such as: women’s autonomy, personal growth, grief, identity and parental impacts.

In Emily Moon’s poem In Astoria, “A ship moves slowly / as a caterpillar through the channel, / dreams of becoming a butterfly.”

In Brooke Raven’s painting Lying in Your Loving Arms, a rough and tough provocative woman commands and takes up space. 

In Alyssa Eckert’s pen and ink pieces, From the Garden, Sweet Surrender and Worm Moon, one feels a sense of unison and harmony between nature and the human world, with special dedication to the minor details.
