Issue 22 features poets, memoirists, short story writers, translators, playwrights, and artists exploring individual and collective trauma; enigmatic familial social, and personal bonds; power dynamics; and connection in the face of isolation. Together, these pieces illustrate the joys of connection and the pain accompanying isolation in familial, social, and cultural structures.
