[email protected]. Via Incensa Issue 62 Volume 2 Editor’s Note for The Lighter Spring 2018 If you’re willing to dive this deep: this book breathes. Feel the reoccurring doubt accompanied by religion— as it should be— floating over pleas for awareness. Our universal ceiling has descended into the pages to mingle with glitter, death, potatoes, and coffee. Loneliness and creativity creep out of homes to whisper a vulnerable “come closer” to nature, to magic, to us, to the elderly flowers taking a final bow. Please follow the crowns of heads pointing to the hopeful seeds sleeping in the spine of The Lighter.
