We are eager to publish: Poetry, Short stories (2500 words or less), Personal essays (2500 words or less), and/ or Visual art.
- We are committed to publishing personal experiences of those who have been unhoused.
- Factual retellings of stories about homelessness in the author’s life.
- Reflections of the author’s personal experiences with housing insecurities.
- Feelings of optimism and faith towards those who are unhoused (whether for the author themself or others).

This magazine will bring compassion towards those who are homeless or unhoused. This issue explores the human stories of and/or stereotypes about people who are unhoused and the fight for basic rights like shelter and healthcare. Reflections could include homelessness during COVID-19, disrupted areas, or due to societal failures. We honor the personal journeys to stability, which provide a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for dignity and safety.
