FLARE JOURNAL
ISSUE FOUR:
MARCH
2021
Dear readers,
Together, we have completed a full annual cycle of publication. What a journey! Through thousands of pages of submissions from nearly four dozen countries, we have constantly been amazed by the unexpected and the brave– and equally so, the delicate and precise. Thank you for making the last twelve months possible; for trusting us with so much of your time, your attention, and your work. In other exciting news: our Editorial Board is open to applications. Head to the 'Editors' page for more information.
We hope you enjoy Issue Four. Please give your undivided attention to the artists and writers featured below, whose work we believe is both unexpected and brave, delicate and precise.
Happy reading!
Warmly,
~ Michelle, Editor-in-Chief @flarejournal
