Still from Somewhere Quillkeepers Press
This collection celebrates individual journeys, including essays, flash fiction, memoirs, short stories, poetry, and prose that honor personal history, cultural inheritance, chosen family, migration, memory, and place, without diminishing or shaming the experiences of others. Our aim is not comparison or hierarchy, but shared humanity.
Differences, Open and Refugee, included in the collection by the poet Erick Phillips Garske, exemplify the anthology’s central theme.
