Issue 153

We are excited to share Issue 153, featuring beautiful, enchanting works by Fatemeh Baigmoradi, Kevin Cooley, Natalja Kent, and Noriko Takasugi. The artists in this issue explore both the richness and paradox embedded in transformation and place, each with their own specific interests and keen aesthetic styles. We hope you enjoy the portfolios, as well as Charcoal Book Club’s January book, On the Night That We Leave by Alisa Resnik. We are sending our best to all of you for a peaceful and prosperous new year! Please stay in touch and let us know what you’re working on.

Very best,
Leo Hsu and Bree Lamb
Managing Editors
