Our fall issue explores memory, loss, and resilience, highlighting the ties between our inner lives and the natural world. Richard Collins and Angela Waldie reflect on nature as a mirror to human experience, and Leila Farjami’s and Jonathan Ukah examine cultural identity and trauma through personal and collective memory. Themes of vulnerability surface in works by Howie Good and Nicole Dufalla, while Denise David and Dan Schall’s contributions explore environmental change. The issue closes with Michelle Holland’s “The All”: “there is no fixing, / just this unbearable careening toward / all that evanesces.”
