ANFRACTUOUS explores the idea of belonging/unbelonging; as Keshni Naicker Washington, the issue’s wonderful guest editor, explains, “. . . we become some self-fashioned mosaic of belonging unique to our own choices and the intricate twists of our experiences.” What does it mean to belong and who gets to decide when/how someone belongs?

And only in the PDF version, read the insightful thoughts of those included within, as they explore the following question: what/who/where was a turning point toward acceptance/belonging? What a great opportunity to think about your own belonging-ness!

Don’t forget to watch our prerecorded reading of Anfractuous, “An Exploration of Belonging: The Anfractuous Reading,” now available here.
