Author Description

The enigmatic, lyrically poignant works we published in 2022 ground themselves in the trembling and intimate while reaching toward the mythic and infinite. They are works of acute feeling and dazzling imagination, looking out of tear-specked eyes at worlds much more haunting and more strange than they at first appear. Existential suffering conceals itself in the mundane, while the unsettling darkness can provide unexpected grace. Climb aboard our starship and depart for these mystifying worlds. Our wonderful, spectral cover is “Dreams of an Astrophile,” crafted by the wondrous and inventive Aahana Tripathi.
