Some Shape of Beauty

Edited by Audrey Camp, Sari Cunningham, Zoë Harris, Karen Havelin, Srividya Karthik and Bree Switzer.

A journey is a walk in the woods. It is a flight across the world. It is a descent into darkness, and it is the desperate scrabbling of clawed hands determined to reach the light. It is a tiny rowboat on a crystal lake and a sailing ship wildly tossed at sea. It is a war to end the world as we know it, and it is a small, many-legged creature marching across a leaf.

Every story is a journey. Every journey brings about change. And every change can, if we let it, become a metamorphosis.
