Issue 142

IF ON THE WAY YOU WANDER: in which we come to terms with our daughter’s sexuality, suffer a visit from our mother, wreak havoc on our child’s toy, and get naked to spy on our neighbour.

THE VIEW FROM HERE: In which we stick with our stories, count from moja to nane, befriend lakes and the Klee Wyck woman, and sing ghazals in bathhouses. Guest-edited by Anna Ling Kaye, this special issue features new work by Jordan Abel, Sarah Kabamba, Anakana Schofield, and more. Publication slated for July 2017; pre-order here!

WHEN THE PAST IS PRESENT: in which we maneuver antlers on the bus, suffer grief through cooking, learn to write by washing dishes, and discover life by climbing mountains.

WHAT LIES AHEAD: in which we eradicate fear through curiosity, ride an articulated bus, take stock on a fish farm, and tell our own kind of fairy tale.

WHAT COMES TO THE SURFACE: in which we flirt with a deserter, become seduced by a bunny suit, and reflect on how poetry teaches us to be human.

MEET ME AT THE EDGE: where we build cities with tin cans, become adept at using chopsticks, fall in love despite different gods, and give chase to figures in unitards

TIME TO TALK OF MORE CHEERFUL THINGS: in which we find love at a Purim party, meet an Ethiopian filmmaker on the train, challenge an upstart student, and stand naked in front of the refrigerator.
