Issue 10

Content and trigger warnings for this issue include violence, genocide, racism, allusions to the Holocaust, child sexual assault and abuse, sex and sexual acts, death, dying, decay, wounds, sexual assault, and adultery.

Many have said it, yet it remains unbendingly true: when we ignore what has happened, we are doomed to repeat. Atrocities have always occurred, and yet we cannot fathom their repetition, so we look away, averting our eyes, our ears, our hearts. And aversion is the answer, but not the first definition. The second: prevention, preclusion.

Join the writers and photographers of Issue 10 as they look, in unflinching detail, at what has happened and is happening—to them, to others, to everyone around us.
