Vol. VI: “Hunger”

 

Vol. VI: “Hunger” confronts the question of what is essential and explores the core idea of need driven by a deep and unrelenting desire. An ache to satiate or itch to scratch — something that we often give ourselves to. These works show how hunger often defines our narratives, cropping up between the lines of stories, poems, artwork, and beyond. Perhaps all of us are craving some form of the same necessity. In the same way we found connection to these works, we hope this issue touches some hungry spot in you, too.
