Conceptual Note for ISSUE 02: OBLIVION

this one’s for the silence afterwards.

for the lives lost between headlines.

for conversations drowned in the twist of fate.

ISSUE 02: Oblivion, is a quiet reflection on erasure: of people, places, memories, and meaning.

it asks: what remains when the noise fades?

what do we carry when the world forgets?

we’re looking for poetry, prose, essays, and artwork that explore themes of mortality, war, fading memory, existential uncertainty, and the quiet ache of being unseen.

raw, fragmented, or lyrical — we want work that lingers.
