Big Wing Review No. 2: Relationships is an anthology celebrating the most impressive poets, authors, and multi-media artists in 2024.
Contemporary writing on relationships too often is distilled to I miss you - I want you - I despise you. In some ways, it's easier to simplify and categorize the emotions we feel than to acknowledge the contradictions and multisided clouds we navigate for a neighbor, a boss, an attacker, a child, a caretaker, or a friend. This issue aims to honestly paint relationships - as a snapshot in time, to be sure.
This issue features includes Samaa Abdurraqib, Phi Phi An, Shamik Banerjee, Callie S. Blackstone, Virginia Brackett, Mary M. Brown, Michael Colonnese, Rachel Coyne, William C. Crawford, Rebecca Dietrich, Deborah H. Doolittle, Katrina Dybzynska, Louis Faber, Debbie Feit, Shee Gomes, Anyély Gómez-Dickerson, David W.
