As you may have seen with our announcement on Twitter, meaningful changes are coming to Ample Remains. Our next issue will be themed, a new venture for us! Additionally, we will be changing to a quarterly model so that we can cultivate--what we hope will be--even stronger, more sensitive issues as our magazine continues to grow and find its place among this excellent community of readers and writers. We believe that with longer reading and production periods, those of you who find yourselves struck or inspired will have more time to ruminate over your words and we will have more time to design a holistic space to house them.
Speaking of which, our Spring/Summer theme for this upcoming issue will be “Preserves,” set to launch June 15th. We want your jars of sugar and fruit, your bottles of honey smiles and save-them-for-laters. By the same token, we also want the shadows hiding in your pantry, the crawling things you can’t kill no matter how much Raid you use to coat the shelves. Regardless of what you keep tucked away for a rainy day or what hides itself amongst your precious belongings, we want to read it. Our inbox is open and waiting. Despite this being a time of change for Ample Remains, many injustices in the world persist, or have worsened since we last wrote to you. The people of Myanmar are still suffering and dying for their right to govern themselves. We urge you to continue educating yourself and others on the Myanmar coup, signing petitions to maintain its global attention, and donating to support the Burmese protestors and charities. We must support those who are fighting desperately for their autonomy. Additionally, take extra time to check in with yourself and your loved ones in the coming weeks. We have just passed the one-year mark since the pandemic began to drastically alter life in America, and humans are cyclical beings who keep score in unique ways. As spring ushers in, winter’s obstacles will not dissolve, but the sun sure is a welcome sight, isn’t it? |
