What We Love: An Aster(ix) Anthology Fall 2016

What We Love arose from enacting a conversation by bringing more voices to the table where we are creating a home with good bones and impeccable intentions so Aster(ix) can share writing that moves us. We revisited and have revised the Aster(ix) vision to embrace the known and unknown; the courageous and the unpredictable; the real and the unreal; to wrestle with the possible and the impossible; jaguars chesty roar; magic; whats censored and omitted; love and devotion. What has come forth through conversations and connections reading rereading and arguing was directed by what we love with love as the torch bearer.Aster(ix): What We Love compiles some of the most exciting poetry and prose by twenty one writers from all over the world: Dia Felix Khadijah Queen Amy Sara Carroll Magda Kapa Leila Christine Nadir Laura Sims Saudamini Deo Saretta Morgan Miranda Mellis Karen An-hwei Lee Chika Unigwe Angela Karee Kim Dana Kupperman Janeil Page Janelle Poe Aurora Masum-Javed Sarah Vap Marlin M.
