Artists, writers, creatives all around, Blacklight Magazine presents our newest issue theme: Wax & Wane!

Over time most things grow and shrink. People, communities, and landscapes change
slowly but distinctly. Blacklight wants to know about your cycles, phases, and shifting
expressions. What parts of yourself are expanding? What parts are eroding?

How about your community? Are there cycles of trauma you feel trapped in? Or cycles of triumph that inspire the
slow march toward change? Or, maybe, consider the moon more directly. What is night to you and what is the light within it? What does it mean to be ‘new’ or ‘full’ or ‘half’?

How do you reflect? And how does that reflection change over time? Does change surprise you the moment
you look up, or do you constantly feel the air shifting around you? Do you concede to slow,
circular change or do you reject it entirely? However you Wax and Wane, tell us about it, in any
medium (poetry, prose, art, etc.), for the 2025 issue of Blacklight Magazine.
