Hello, !

We have a bit of unfortunate news: due to a number of factors, we have decided to delay the release of Issue No. 05…briefly!

We had planned to release the issue on February 26, but all kinds of life got in the way. While we could have rushed the process to publish on time, we just didn’t want to share this fantastic issue before it’s truly ready for prime time.

We don’t have a new release date just yet, but it will almost certainly come out in mid- to late-March. And, of course, we’ll be sure to share that date as soon as it’s set.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support. It really means so much to all of us.

Warm regards,
Chad (EIC)

In the ‘The Girls’ from Arboreal’s ‘Fresh Hell’ issue, National Endowment for the Arts fellow Emma Bolden asserts the gravity of resilience and sharp readiness.

The poem speaks to the power of naming and claiming one’s space in a world that often feels like a fresh hell. A testament to the strength found in unity and the fierceness of womanhood, it reflects not just a moment but a movement.

Let’s keep watching, together, until sunrise.
