This inaugural issue, Beginnings,  is grounded in a single, unwavering belief - that it is worth starting something before you feel ready. These beginnings are not small acts. They are, we think, necessary and revolutionary ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin these pages, you will find beginnings in all their forms. Some unfold as moments of change, others as acts of return. First times and last times. Taking a chance, letting go, trying something new. They reflect the many ways beginnings take shape, often subtle, often uncertain, and rarely as simple as they may at first appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology was created as a deliberate act of slowing down. In a world that rewards speed, we wanted to make something to sit with. To peruse is to move with intention rather than urgency, and that is the spirit in which every page here was shaped. These words are not for skimming. They are for lingering, revisiting, reading twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are grateful to the writers and artists who trusted us with their work without knowing us, and to the many beginnings that brought these pieces into being. This issue marks the start of a community dedicated to supporting writers and building a space for bold and honest work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditors - Nel Herche, and Mya Brown, Elisabeth Connell, Mya Guardino, Shelby Rodger\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors - Jane Corbett, Heng Jonho, Yen Ooi and Antheia, Anne McPherson Arthurs, Faith-Anne Bell, D C Boyle, Mario Duarte, Donald Reed Greenwood, Nicholas Grooms, Gail Grycel, Nel Herche, Paul Hilding, Hannah Janssen, Sheyna ZL, David Anson Lee, Daniel Miltz, George Oliver, Julie Wittes Schlack, Kathy Sherban, Marc Simon, Tim Thornburgh, Peterson Toscano, Lynn White, Christopher Woods\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 154\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 7 x 4.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 08, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48645587271928,"sku":"9781910852095","price":25.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/Y-EpwDVu6l9781910852095.webp?v=1781585666","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/peruse-zine-beginnings-paperback","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
