A NOTE FROM THE EIC
This issue is proof that language is borderless. With submissions from over forty countries, voices have converged in 'True North', each carrying a unique history, cadence, horizon. Together, this issue is a map, charting a palpable north for all of us. ​
​​​​
In these pages, you will find diction sharpened till tender through Paul Hostovsky's poetry. Luminous, biting imagery unfurling like thunder in Reneé Bibby’s prose. Yet the beauty of the words you will read lies not in any single name, but in the chorus each diverse voice orients us towards.
​​​​
If there is one message this issue leaves you with, I pledge it be this: let 'True North' not be a collection of pieces, but rather a living testament to the boundless power of shared art.
