ISSUE 06 - SUMMER 2019

Dear Readers,

We bring Issue Six to you with much gratitude, warmth, and joy. As spring petals, we write to the world and live with its forces of reckoning. We resist, we read, and form a collected consciousness of reimagining the spaces we inhabit. Issue Six is an amalgamation of myriad voices that work with wonder, remembrance,  questioning, and resistance. This issue personifies strength to us in multiple ways, and we hope you enjoy reading the works of our talented contributors.

Parentheses Journal is a labor of love and dedication, and we always welcome your feedback and thoughts.
