Dear Readers and Contributors, It is with mixed feelings that I share the news with you that the Same will not be returning with new issues in the Fall.

Issue 16.5 – Poetry
“As I was lying there with my eyes closed, just after I’d imagined what it might be like if in fact I never got up again, I thought of you. I opened my eyes then and got right up and went back to being happy again. I’m grateful to you, you see. I wanted to…

Issue 12.2 – Nonfiction
Since Taylor Swift’s debut album, I’ve always felt a certain kinship with her. With every song she releases, I can’t shake the feeling that she just gets me. Her first album came out when I was a freshman in high school, and for the past ten years, each album has met me exactly where I…
Issue 12.2 – Poetry
