10th Ward Lit:

The Healing Issue

A Literary Magazine Publication of Evanston Public Library

In this issue, we want to turn our attention to healing. As the world becomes more complex, our relationships more nuanced and layered, and we find ourselves carrying our vulnerability on our sleeves, focusing on how we heal ourselves and help others heal becomes central to our existence.

We want to talk about practicing healing to save ourselves and our planet, to rebuild ourselves with grace and tenderness, to become resilient and grateful. About modeling healing so our communities can also heal. About gifting healing, for those who don't know how to, or have lost the ability. About celebrating, normalizing, and transforming healing into activism... we want to know what healing means to you.
