Issue 38: POP! is officially live!
We could not be prouder of this issue. Thank you to all of our contributors and readers. Click the link in our bio to see what pops ⭐️
Editors Note:
I just want to thank everyone for reading, contributing, and interacting with Gulf Stream since Issue 37: WET! I graduated from the MFA program at FIU on Tuesday, which means my time as Editor-in-Chief has come to an end. I've had so much fun putting these sister issues together and seeing the reaction to WET! has meant so much to me. I hope you all enjoy POP! just as much. It's been a privilege working with Gulf Stream and all of your work. I'll be passing the torch to Kamila Izquierdo, which means the magazine will remain in the best of hands. Thanks for putting up with my themed calls. Stay wet, make it pop, and Gulf Stream 4ever 🩵
Sincerely,
Michael Cuervo
(soon-to-be-former) Editor-in-Chief 😉
