MAKING WAVES
“My body is a temple” was the inspiration for this issue, with the added notion that, for others, the body may be a prison. We were looking for pieces about finding both the holy and profane in stone, flesh, the mind, or anywhere else. To our delight, we received pieces that showed us that a monastery might feel like a refuge for one person and a cage to another, and one might even find a kind of freedom in a jail cell.
MAKING WAVES
The theme of “pride” isn’t only for those rejoicing in the queer experience; it’s also for those who continue to feel like they must hide their own identity because of discrimination, whether in employment, relationships, or basic human rights.
