Like a Cat on a Tinfoil Ball, the Spring Issue Has Sprung

Window Girl Alone

One theme that leaps out in Issue 112 is vision, both in the literal sense of sight and in the deeper sense of perception and an artist’s imagination. There are people gazing inward and peering outward, people regarding the traumas of the past and the possibilities of the future without blinking, people looking in the wrong places and seeing too much or not enough.

With this in mind, we invite you to ogle at the wonders on display. But watch out, because some of them might be staring back at you with their smokey violet eyes.

Cover art by Lucija Rasonja; poems by Ian Goh, Ashley Crout, Jane-Rebecca Cannarella, and Dante Novario; stories by Marc Tweed and Davis MacMillan.
