MacroMicroCosm Literary & Art Journal - Recovering Villains, Volume 6 Issue 4

In this issue

We intended to conclude this superhero collection with a move to redemption. In order to redeem the villain (and society), we the heroes have a painful path. How do we enter a space of repair if we aren’t confronted with what a villain represents?

It is an idealist’s dream which brings MacroMicroCosm here, a place where discourse of sometimes disparate voices begins and ends with compassionate respect.

But first, we need to hear the Joker’s laugh.

In this issue, we feel the wound of Leah Holbrook Sackett’s What Doesn’t Fall Apart Gets Broken, a thought-piece on souls. Promising writer Elyssa Campbell gifts the second part of Mouth of the River, where we see Thomas & Demers in their mutual genesis. Photographic storyteller Dariusz Jancewski gives us two visual stories in Framed by Cement, and Between the Rocks. R.L. Arenz III concludes the abridged and alternate ending of Aegis, which he published as a novel with Vræyda Literary earlier this year. Like Screams from Deep Space by Gregory J. Glanz shoves us into sci-fi with a mastery of the short yarn. Amirah Al Wassif closes us off with To Bury a Curious Girl.
