Themes and processes
When we did Pangea Press issue 1, the theme was kind of broad - it was about feminism, what it means to the writer. And I remember thinking to myself: "I can't believe we still have to protest this shit." It was a strange thought that didn't leave me throughout the process. It made me angry, it made me sad. All sorts.
Little did I know, apparently.
The theme for Issue 2 is Queer Anger and Dystopia.
My Pangea Press folder is full of word documents that ooze anger, scream at injustices, plead or even demand something, anything better, or portray the emotional disconnect with the world that we live in. And this hits so much more. Oof.
But at the same time, all of these pieces give me so much more hope than sadness. We are brave. And we will continue to be [brave].
There, I said it. Now, back to the article about marriage.
