What does explosive violence leave behind? In our first issue, writers, survivors, farmers, and photographers from Lebanon, Laos, Sudan, and Iraq give shape to what most accounts leave formless.
Each issue of this journal is built around a single word — a theme that functions as an open invitation. Writers, farmers, survivors, artists and journalists interpret it freely.
The common thread is perspective: non-Western, grounded, firsthand. We publish the person who lived it alongside the person who studied it.
Read our manifesto"A theme like Land can yield a legal essay on indigenous title, a poem about soil, a photo essay on dispossession, and a piece of flash fiction — all in the same issue." From the editorial manifesto
A quarterly journal of non-Western testimony, journalism, poetry, and fiction. No algorithm. No noise. Four issues a year, built around a single theme.
