In this inaugural edition, we present a miscellany that brings together diverse voices, genres, and perspectives: articles that engage literature in dialogue with contemporary sociocultural issues; reviews that invite readers to rediscover great literary works; and creative texts that demonstrate the imaginative power of words.

We thank those who believed in this project and shared their texts for this first issue. We invite you to read, to be surprised, to disagree, to question, and to engage in dialogue.
