Tips From the Editor
We publish distinguished writing and artwork, with a particular interest in promoting environmental and social justice. We seek diverse voices from around the world and welcome submissions in all languages. We recognize that the texts we encounter sometimes challenge us, and that can be a sign of merit and value. We make it a practice to interrogate our readerly biases and tastes.
