Volume 12 Issue 1
2016 has been a year of dramatic change for many of us. I began the year by losing my mother and ended the year by graduating from college—two endings that demand modification of daily routine. In these moments of uncertainty, stories are conceived. People seldom write of mundanity; they write to make a vanishing voice remembered—for tribute and legacy.
It was clear when sifting through the submissions we received that many struggled with a number of issues from oppression to depression. Writers began the arduous task of putting pen to paper to navigate through the unforgiving tides of cluttered mind. But not all submissions were so figuratively heavy. Some dealt with the subtleties of a budding romance, and some were filled with the perfect amount of Carroll-esque nonsense.
For Euphemism 12.1, I believe we chose a mixture of both the peaks and the valleys. It’s been both a privilege and joy to work closely with each piece putting them all together in our Fall 2016 edition of Euphemism, which is an interactive PDF. Enjoy!
