Dear Issue 09 readers,
Welcome to an issue inspired by nature — an environment that sparks the experiences that bind us all as community, as human. Here we celebrate these voices that cherish our Earth and those that warn of nature’s decay — holding these stories and illustrations in our arms. From glowing photographs of sakura blossoms to whaling critique, we hope you find something that resonates with you. Thank you again to everyone who has made this issue possible. To our submitters, readers, and fellow journals — the incredible community that has fostered this magazine into what it is today.
And thank you for reading, always. Please enjoy Issue 09, Nature.
Sincerely,
Emily Pedroza
Founder and Editor-in-Chief
