Letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
What happens when a person, a creative work, or an idea fits into multiple categories and defies established definitions?
(Re)Mix: As writers and artists, we make artistic choices about how we relate to the creative work that has come before us. Throughout the issue, writers (re)mix and (re)define form and genre. The first section of the issue, (Re)mix: Form, groups together some of those experimentations.
(Re)Define: Every day we live, we choose who we are, how we relate to the world around us, and how we want to show up in the world. What do we reveal? What do we hide? Some of the work in this issue addresses identity, gender, and questions of belonging. We’ve grouped those works together in the second section, (Re)Define: Agency, Identity, and Community.
Featured Chapbook: We end the issue with Miriam Saperstein’s chapbook and poem, What Lies in the Valley Between Us.
We hope you enjoy Issue 24 of BathHouse Journal.
Elizabeth J. Mitchell
Lead Editor, Issue 24
