[ s p a c e s ] is back . . .

. . . and presumably better than ever, but we'll let you decide. How? By making [spaces] your own. We are now accepting submissions for Issue 2:

spaces.literaryjournal@gmail.com

Also, if for some reason you don't own your own copy of the inaugural issue of [spaces], it is now a mere $5 in the bookstore, and anywhere else you might find it.

Some of you . . .
    have been asking for some direction as far as the vision of [ s p a c e s ]. The following is not offered to
    manipulate your direction whatsoever, but to perhaps offer some clarification or some inspiration for your
    contributions. As we have begun this project, we have come with the approach that sees [ s p a c e s ] as a

    . . . recognition that we're a generation living in many types of limbo, and that although living in the in-between can often be a frustrating, lonely, and confusing place, it can also be a place to express honesty, and to discover glimpses of beauty and hope. [spaces] is an

exploration of the in-between. It is an exploration of the spaces around us, within us, and between us . . .

                                              - hope that helps,
                                                                 linnea.
