Open Submissions until February 1
For the second edition of our magazine, we are contemplating the nature of human relationships.
When we speak of relationships, we are referencing an ongoing dialogue with the forces outside of us, that romanticism is one minor aspect of.
Human relating includes platonic intimacy, eros, sisterhood, family, and all it's inner dynamics including idealism, betrayal, growth, fantasy, and trust.
The quality of relationship is determined by the depth to which we engage and listen to others. With attention and care, intimacy and understanding develop. Love is born.

We welcome any pieces covering delicate topics within relationships that the culture neglects.

-
What divorces us from intimacy and what strengthens it?
