F(r)iction #28: Censored
$25.00
The Censored issue brings writing steeped in the history of silenced voices and ready to face off against new and ongoing pressures to placate fears and erase new ideas. Whether the censor is an outside force or a voice inside us, our contributors carve a path of creative expression despite forces of inhibition and infringement.
Collected here, you'll find a stunning opening feature about the fears that drove historical censors, an all-knowing cow that shakes up a small town fair, two servicemen navigating a complex relationship in the shadow of McCarthyism and atomic testing, and a chimpanzee whose life is turned upside down when new leaders enter their world.
Community features with Mirror Image Arts and Panther Anti-Racist Union offer up brilliant poetry on the power of voice and artistic expression. And our Brink student comic, BOOKED IN, by Joel Williams digs into the relationship between reader and story, and the power in defending the fictions that fuel us.
Plus, we're proud to present two exclusive interviews on the aspects of censorship with best-selling authors Margaret Atwood and Roxane Gay. And a stunning personal essay from award-winning writer Damian Barr.
