Earth From Space
       CHACE DUMA

"Our lives have un-rooted, de-situated, and tenuously re-assembled with oft-noted regards to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. But, far be it from us to zero in on any singularity, we hope to highlight all manners of change which can transpire upon and in our lives. From gender affirmation surgery to urban turnover to the twist within contranyms, we have amassed a far-flinging assortment of works around this year’s theme, Transformation."

--Kat Yuen, Editor-in-Chief Vol. 65 Spectrum Literary Journal
