Catalog of Sorrows by Nadia Arioli

 

Here at Permafrost, we grappled with the art of seclusion, not realizing how deeply isolation would creep into all of our lives. Now, our latest online issue of Permafrost arrives with the new sunshine and lengthening days in Fairbanks, Alaska. Coming into a hopeful spring, we bring you a group of deeply reflective, wonderful pieces which blur the boundaries of genre and form to capture the essence of these strange years we've shared. These pieces--we hope--find you still learning, still dreaming, and blooming anew. Welcome to Permafrost Issue 43.2: the Catalog of Sorrows.
