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.

Comber<br />
Of nowhere, the shore is meager map- the gulls,<br />
the piper, the ray, where to run is<br />
to come to a walk, sounds out of shot,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the places groomed by wind <strong>and</strong> grit.<br />
Here, we pick up pieces of jaws,<br />
bone, pretty shells, <strong>and</strong> nothing<br />
we are looking for ends up in<br />
our sack, sliding against a<br />
broken s<strong>and</strong> dollar.<br />
But, oh that golden girl who<br />
said this sadness fell from<br />
your eye <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ed me a<br />
pearl. –RML<br />
