Welcome to the fall issue of Magpie Zine! Our CONNECTION issue contains zero mentions of quetzals (27-point Scrabble word) or muzjiks (29-point Scrabble word) or Scrabble [eek]. Nevertheless, the contents therein rival the very magic of the most dazzling syzygy (21! points). Seriously, we are over tonight’s waxing crescent to have the opportunity to feature so many astounding humans and their creations in our first issue.

Read words. Listen to words. Experience art. Download the magazine, print out your favorite piece, and pin it on a coffee shop bulletin board. Carry the Spotify playlist with you in your pocket on your smart telephone, and think of us thinking of you and wishing you all the wells and warmth as we move into the darkening bits of 2024. Thank you so much for reading and supporting the arts.

xoxo,
Magpie
