Call For Submissions: Issue 9
Theme: Echoed Howls
This theme explores longing, connection, isolation, and the unknown. It asks what it means to speak into the void - to call for someone who may not be there, and to hear only yourself echoed back. It is about the tension between presence and absence, between reaching out and being met with silence. A howl can be grief, warning, prayer, or celebration - but always, it is a reaching. Who do we become when we are unheard? What remains when sound fades, and only the echo lingers?
