Issue 1.1, Milk Bag, encapsulates our ethos. A milk bag is a distinctly Canadian object, evoking feelings of nostalgia, highlighting the tension that exists between curdle and rot, and steeping us in the sense memory of a solitary midnight drink—milk drops slipping down the chin in the refrigerator glow. “Belly First,” by Dana R. Share, captures nostalgia, place, and wild girlhood in the hazy heat of a rural Ontario summer. In Jack O’Grady’s, “A Couch, Rotting,” we find a suburb imbued with the magic of adolescent boredom, friendship and mythology. In turn, Elsa Brittin’s, “Trophy for a Blueberry Bush,” is a beautiful visual representation of nature’s ability to conjure emotion and memory.
