Afro Literary Magazine Issue II: Healing

Welcome to Afro Literary Magazine's second issue! Healing is a beautiful, bloody process. In order to heal, one must be broken. Issue II is the creative embodiment of healing in different afro-headed bodies, different time zones, and different wounds. Each piece reflects different stages of healing. Some struggle to stop the bleeding, some cry of throbbing and tears, some carry hammers and nails, and some reveal twisted, browned scars. Issue II is beautiful, not because of its lovely language or vivid artwork, but because it’s startingly visceral. It reaches past paper cuts and wraps around your heart with poetry-colored gauze.
