For our November 2022 issue, WordCity Literary Journal will turn its eyes on disasters: Natural disasters such as storms. Human-made as with Climate Change. Political. Personal. From the macro to the micro.
While we leave this theme wide open to interpretation, our hearts are looking towards Iran with grief and hope as its people protest against the killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini by the regime’s morality police. We think of Pakistan and the terrible flooding, and the humanitarian needs there, while keeping our thoughts with others in the paths of storms. And, of course, Ukraine, and the ongoing war and war, and war and violence everywhere.
We thank all contributors in advance for considering us with your work, as well as our readers. Without you, there would be no reason to keep gathering and sharing the voices that make up our journal.
