The holiday season envelops us in a mix of warmth and reflection, a time when both joy and complexity come to the forefront of our minds. Amidst the flickering lights and gatherings, we navigate a landscape of memories that can be both cherished and bittersweet. This is a season where familiar rituals revive old traditions, yet also stir emotions of longing and loss.
Volume 07: A Holiday Issue will explore the multifaceted nature of these experiences, examining the rich variety of multicultural celebrations, treasured customs, and personal narratives that reveal the depth of our shared humanity through the evocative lens of literature, art, and photography. This winter, Creation is seeking the personal holiday stories of writers and artists from varying backgrounds to present an authentic, nostalgic, and intentionally diverse canopy of lyricism.
