Issue 8: Perspective, Wildness, the Smell of the Sea

Mo Duffy Cobb Leave a Comment

Thanks to all who contributed to Issue 8. It’s been so wonderful to sift through your words and memories of warmth and discovery as the coldness of Canada’s winter sets in.


In Creative nonfiction

In CNF, Mary Dollins charts sweet interactions as twilight transforms Marrakesh in Red City, and Daisy Feller examines the importance of learning language in Why Bother Speaking Czech. We follow Robert Fay to Japan in A Child in the Culture, look beyond the pane of glass in Linda Clarke’s July in London, and take a walk through history with James Kelly in In Eritrea While Vietnam Raged.

In Poetry

In poetry, Allison Chen examines her “maladroit muscle” in Learning Tongues and wades into water in Sea Salt. Alex MacConochie falls in love with Aleppo, and Joan Leotta brings us the silken markets of Turkey in Bursa Ipek. Ogunniyi Abayomi shows us the dust of the earth in The Wild Sanctuary. 

In Visual Art

In visual art, Gina Williams turns her dreams into plans in Happiness Will Not Wait, Paula Montañà Tor frolics with kids in Myanmar in Life in the Golden Land and Rachel Bownik shows up beautiful simplicity in Northeast South Dakota.

Happy Winter Solstice to all who read, support and love Cargo. Don’t forget to follow Cargo Lit on Twitter, get updates by Facebook, and you got it – keep submitting.
