About this issue
This issue of elementia is dedicated to the theme of The Unspoken, encouraging writers and artists to explore the things we left unsaid. Published in April of 2024, it contains 56 pieces of writing and 60 pieces of art.
As the editors of issue xxi note:
"Our artists and authors have explored various meanings within this theme while not shying away from the vulnerability it requires. We discovered approaches to the unspoken in nostalgia, admiration and grief, as well as trauma, toxic relationships and more."
