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.

Droplets of now<br />
splash upon my face,<br />
spark in my why,<br />
meaning to be<br />
when there is no existence,<br />
only the humming<br />
possibility<br />
of quantum potential,<br />
dancing in maybes.<br />
In the next moment<br />
the world will change<br />
without being,<br />
neurons <strong>and</strong> synapses<br />
strolling h<strong>and</strong> in h<strong>and</strong><br />
with the void<br />
in the stasis<br />
of becoming<br />
without doing,<br />
without meaning.<br />
If matter has no<br />
substance, we sing<br />
without melody,<br />
in rhythm with chaos,<br />
soundless in our<br />
vibrations,<br />
<strong>and</strong> permeating<br />
in non-reality,<br />
we coalesce<br />
in soul fusion.<br />
