Windward Review Vol. 20 (2022): Beginnings and Endings

"Beginnings and Endings" (2022) challenged South Texas writers and beyond to narrate structures of beginnings and ends. What results is a collection of poetry, prose, hybrid writing, and photography that haunts, embraces, and consoles all the same. Similar to past WR volumes, this collection defies easy elaboration - it contains diverse tones, languages, colors, and creative spaces. Creative pieces within the text builds upon others, allowing polyvocal narratives to interlock and defy the logic of 'beginning-middle-end'. By the end of this collection, you will neither sense nor crave the finality that a typical text brings. Instead, you will be inspired to learn and create beyond a narrative linear structure. Your reading and support is sincerely appreciated.

Evolvere (Derek)<br />

Evolvere is his pen name; he has interests in common activities such<br />

as playing video games <strong>and</strong> watching anime, with some uncommon<br />

interests such as martial arts, history, <strong>and</strong> self improvement.<br />

World of Wars<br />

Loud courses filled with youth, scared<br />

<strong>and</strong> brave these soldiers are made.<br />

White tents, stained in dirt, crossed in<br />

red, many will live, others may not<br />

have such luck.<br />

Trenches stamped in blood, riddled<br />

with bodies, full of crushed hopes<br />

<strong>and</strong> distraught horror.<br />

Caskets are full but the contents are<br />

empty, with them gone some may<br />

forget but others will remember <strong>and</strong><br />

they will respect them.<br />
