Past Issues

Issue #7 • Spring 2011: Food

Drawing on the recent socialization of foodie behavior—everything from growing your own felt-basket garden to learning the true elegance of dried cherries in a salad—we have decided to indulge the new parameters of eating well, consciously, and with more rigor than our respective preservative-clad childhoods. In this issue you will find artists and writers who understand that food nourishes the mind as beautifully as it does the body. Whether you’re a culinary addict or a more circumspect connoisseur, you’ll find that each offering on our menu contains kernels of fancy and flights of truth.

Issue #6 • Fall 2010: Traditions(s)

Each of these stories argues, skillfully and perhaps in the subdued light that surrounds all written texts, the power of how seemingly concrete traditions can shift and remold around new narratives.

Despite the danger, the brave voices in this issue can’t help reaching beyond sight, to bridge the silences between old and new.

An exclusive interview with artist Kamakanioka‘āina Paikai; poetry by Ida Yoshinaga; fiction by Kenneth Quilantang, Jr., Monica Keawe Kaluakini Lee, Cheri Nagashima, Tony Robles, and Nick Fowler; and visual art by Jun-Jun Sta.Ana.
