"Revenance and Reverence," Kinsman Quarterly explores the intersections of death, remembrance, cultural heritage, and the enduring connections between the living and those who have passed.
Featured contributor Odette Cortés London examines the rich traditions of Día de Muertos through an evocative article and photography, while Akin Jeje and Zae Matthews offer reflections on identity, loss, and legacy. The issue also features an exclusive interview with award-winning playwright G. Edwin Van Wright, conducted by Zoe Hatton; a celebration of Filipino heritage and ancestral traditions by Duchess Wade; evocative poetry by emerging writer Meheru Alaspure; and speculative fiction by Nigerian writer Nisola Jegede.
