Green

<p><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Green is more than a color; it is a symbol a feeling a language spoken across cultures disciplines and personal experiences. It evokes the vitality of spring the sting of envy the promise of renewal and the slow decay of time. It is the color of both innocence and ambition of balance and contradiction. In nature green is life in motion. In society it is money power and sustainability. In emotion it is hope and healing-and sometimes the ache of longing.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>This anthology gathers a diverse array of voices-poets storytellers essayists and artists-each exploring the multiplicity of green in their own way. Here green is not pinned down to a single meaning. Instead it grows wild and unpredictable revealing itself in unexpected corners: in childhood memories in urban landscapes in political movements in intimate reflections.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>As you turn the pages let yourself drift through the spectrum of green: from the lush to the toxic the sacred to the mundane the personal to the collective. These pieces do not aim to define green but to invite you into its many interpretations-to see through the lens of others and perhaps discover new hues within yourself.</span></p><p></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Featuring the following:</span></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Shai Afsai - Aldo </span><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>Quagliotti - </span><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Gabriella Balcom</span></p><p class=ql-align-center><span style=color: rgba(32 33 36 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Carly Ballard - Linda M.
