LIT 41, Fall 2025
Dear Reader,
The skies are grey here in New York City and in the movement of the winds is the chill of the season that has us digging; unearthing; hoodies, capes, and vibey – vintage legacy sweaters just a few moth holes away from the inevitable. The skies darken earlier than our thoughts so they turn inward, can’t help it, thinking of those things in the dark, the dark things. Yes, it is time to greet the ancestors and make the offerings; dare to touch the veil with a small hope that messages of love like smoke will drift through and over. These are our offerings to you dear reader. Peek under leaves to see what crawls.

LIT 40, Summer 2025
Daring to plumb the source of elemental forces simmering below the surface of information / confusion, and illusion seems these days to be the work of Artists. Looking into what cannot be seen for the truth of existence and translating this into manifestation is the great work. Every day that we live and breathe we, all of us, are translators daring to art as intentional as an act of carrying water.

Global Voices Interviews
At LIT, we see translation as the essence of all writing – whether it’s translating across languages or transforming life into words, images, and sound. From the individual to the collective, from the intimate to the universal: in the end, it’s all about translation. We are thrilled to share this newest, brilliant installment of Global Voices from Indonesia.
