Thoughts From The Editors - Abigail Pearson

Birth Is A War Story

Birth is a war story. There are few things more powerful than birth.  In the myths Izanami gave birth to nine children, and she created even more gods and goddesses. I was in my early teens the first time I saw a child born into this world.  I've seen this cataclysmic event nine times now.  I believe that birth isn't just about the creation of children.  I believe you are giving birth when you bring anything creative into the world.  It is a war to be female. It is a war to give life. Weave you stories and send them to us. We can't wait to read, or listen or see your work.
