Opis

There are many types of fires within us. Some have been lit from the outside. Some we are born with. When channeled, our fires can be a light. Whether the source be chemical, biological, circumstantial, or ancestral, many of us hold fires within. We can use the flames to shine from out of the darkness. However long the light may last, we can be incandescent. This collection aims to be a small representation of poetry, prose, and art expressing light created from internal fire, namely around the topic of mental and emotional health. Experiences with depression, bipolar, grieving, being a caretaker, body image, anxiety, abusive relationships, suicide, and more are all fuel for these fires. It is my honor to provide space on these pages for 71 authors and artists to share their light. Incandescent Mind: Issue One, Summer 2016 is a full-color, 8.5 x 11" journal of poetry, prose, and art focused on mental and emotional health. From mental illness, physical ailments, death, and loss, to PTSD, body image issues, family dysfunction, and more, 48 authors and 23 artists share their light on what fuels their internal fires. Edited by Sarah Thursday and co-edited by Raquel Reyes-Lopez, with additional support from Robin Axworthy, Jeri Thompson, Frank Kearns, Clifton Snider, and Keri McNeley.
