Editors’ Note

Dearest Readers,

We are thrilled to present to you wildscape.’s third quarterly issue. We know that the world feels heavy right now, and that many of you are, like us, hanging on by a thread. The ground beneath our feet feels unstable, always moving, always shifting. Our hope is that this issue will provide you with a moment of stability. By the time you finish reading this issue, we hope that you feel a bit more grounded and lot more connected to the world around you.

This issue, like all of our issues, is equal parts whimsy and chaos. You’ll find tranquility in the pages that carry whimsy, and rightful rage and grief aimed at genocide, oppression, and injustice in the pages that hold fast to chaos. I invite you to allow yourself to openly feel all of the emotions that surface while reading these pieces, and to give yourself grace as you do.

We are in this fight together, always.

With love,
Ophelia & Oliver
