My life’s becoming a looping eclipse
Cold, humid, and frozen at its temples
Faltering away from the noise
Quiet, silent, lifeless, and dull
However, it’s become quite morbid recently
Echoing, loud, and beating with angst
The Amazine is celebrating its second anniversary!
And I’m quite amazed how it has been steadily growing, ever since its humble launch, into such an incredible community of those embarking on the quest of joy and wonder & embracing the bittersweetness of our lives. I still think that, maybe, what this really comes down to is deciding over and over again to challenge the indifference and apathy of a certain world – and our own. With every question, thought, word, story, scene, sound, or anything else we cherish and create. So, yes – despite all the grief – our wonder is still very much alive and kicking.
I’m grateful beyond words to every single one who decided to join and support this community in any way, even just briefly. But a very special mention goes to my current team members and wonderful poets: thank you, my dear co-editor Mia, for all the hard and brilliant work in the last year, and a warm welcome to Amanda, our new (proof)reader!
Sending you all lots of love,
Iva
