In Edition 1, our writers and musicians bring us to listless and activated moments of tension.
Their writing brings us the stressful inflection points of Trinidad, to imagery-laden, daily moments of clarity, to the strides of Cambridge relationships, whiny 911 dispatches, to the vibrance of the dance hall, the waves of the ocean on a field trip, and much more.
Their tunes capture the aesthetic of listlessness (ennui) and (on we) through chords, bars, and street corners.
