The Idea Behind
the Magazine

The words we use take on many lives. Some stay near home. Some go far, far away. Some are scorned. Some are gloried. Some are manipulated. Some are ignored. Some come back to reminisce. Others, we hear about from time to time.


There are no preordained answers. Only impatient questions. In asking, they are released. What returns is ours.
