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.

ut She promised forever<br />
jumbled words inside my<br />
grief-stricken mind<br />
ocean blue eyes full of love <strong>and</strong> promises of forever<br />
incoherent, two am, sleep-deprived mumbles<br />
hour after hour<br />
fight after fight<br />
slammed doors <strong>and</strong> empty drawers<br />
a corporeal despondency engulfs my entity<br />
a little blue box protecting priceless emerald carats of forever<br />
mocks me as i replay<br />
the multitude of memories i have<br />
of Her<br />
who would have guessed forever had an expiration date<br />
<strong>Beginnings</strong> X <strong>Endings</strong><br />
