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.

Relationships<br />
Relationships can be friends, loved ones or actual love.<br />
Relationships can be sweet but also unsweet.<br />
Life is a bunch of unfortunate events; they can become madness or be<br />
the cause of where love was murdered.<br />
Eyes seeping into a river of nothingness.<br />
Fake friends are a stain like ink.<br />
Loved ones are a very complicated math equation, but actual love is<br />
like losing a loved one or like learning a new language.<br />
It’s very complicated when you’re older.<br />
Including adults as well.<br />
As a teen my life is complicated,<br />
Drifting pulling loose ends, tugging, on my dreams.<br />
Stitching memories of the good days, presence is a present, when its<br />
where you want to be.<br />
Relationships <strong>and</strong> confidence is a recipe to overcome what has been<br />
lost <strong>and</strong> carry on freely.<br />
<strong>Beginnings</strong> X <strong>Endings</strong><br />
