Issue 11.2 (2026)

 

Bullfinch Colour 4 by Annick Cottom.

 
 

For our Fall 2026 issue, our theme is Ritual.  Ritual, ceremony, and practice shape the ways we move through the world: the habits and traditions we inherit, create, and invoke to tether us to place, season, memory, and one another.

For this issue, we invited writers and artists to explore ritual in its many forms: from autumnal traditions and preparations for winter, to routines of care, repetition, and renewal. The work you find below considers the gestures and rhythms that help us make meaning in a changing world that so often measures time linearly and with expectations of progress.
