This issue’s theme will be EMBLAZON

: to conspicuously inscribe or display
: to depict (a heraldic device) on something
: to celebrate or extol publicly

And here are some questions to consider when choosing or writing for this issue:

  • What are the experiences that inscribed themselves onto your being and made you who are? Who are the people who adorn your life? Whose lives do you adorn in return? What are the places and contexts that you inevitably herald in all of your interactions?

  • Of the ephemeral instants that have embellished your existence, what marks and stays with you? What are the sensations, emotions, and images that anchor you in your own aliveness?

  • What is your relationship with time? How do you view its nature, particularly in relation to the fleeting moments that make up the human experience?

  • What are the sparks that you strive to ignite during your time on this Earth? How do you hope to illuminate the world when your time comes to an end?
