Editor’s Note
Hollow and Sky
Issue Two
There are works that arrive loudly, and works that wait.
The pieces gathered in this issue move through memory, weather, distance, longing, and the quiet practice of attention. They return to what cannot be fully held: the vanished, the half-remembered, the quietly enduring. Again and again, these works ask us to look closely toward what remains at the edges of attention.
A feeling carried forward. A gesture revisited. A landscape altered by light, season, or time.
Thank you for spending time with these pages.
