They Were A Secret Map for Issue 17

9 January 2025

Pisco and Emanuel become explorers. It’s as if they’ve been away for months, trotting paths not yet travelled. They take their brown leather rucksacks and unpack globes, magnifying glasses, notebooks, and parcels. There is so much to explore. Let's begin.

Issue 17's editorial is accompanied by a poem from Cat Evans titled "Wake The River." Here is a sneak peek:

I opened my mouth, felt it turn into a cavern ready to be explored
I reached out my arms, found a canyon rippling awake with a yawn
Broad daylight singles us out while the night covers
Each wink of a smile and tink of a laugh
We set the sun up anyway and bask in the bloating heat
We wave towards the moon as she refuse to hide her face
We wake at the clap of a day’s break and give our last calls
To moments turning to motives, to time turning to testimonies
To the backseat of a car turning into a full-night’s sleep
