Over the last year and a half, we have all found ourselves in a period with a clear beginning but an indefinite, elusive end. Life has been revealed as a labyrinth: a path we all wander on the journey between birth and death, between what is present, what is future, and what is past.

Issue 61: Beginnings and Endings offers a window into our shared experiences of both genesis and cessation. Dream worlds are created. Friendships bloom, then wither. Time flexes "like a bow," the present "ballooning until the future and past touch."

Featuring: Arah Ko, our 2021 Janet B. McCabe Poetry Prize Winner, as well as work from six additional finalists. Poetry and prose by Kim Garcia, Cynthia Gralla, Catey Miller, and Phillip Watts Brown. Cover art by Veronika Moos.
