Weave Magazine

Weave Magazine is a bicoastal literary organization and print publication dedicated to showcasing diverse voices. The striking cover by Jason John presupposes what Issue 09 is all about: harmony and disharmony, strength versus weakness, and beauty and aggression. Throughout, these authors and artists imagine and explore life before birth all the way through adolescence, sexual exploration, romantic entanglements, and growing old. Gender is torn apart and put back together in ways that are surprising and thought-provoking, asking in many different ways, what does it mean to be me, us, them? These stories, poems, drawings, and photographs are at once haunting, gorgeous, grotesque, funny, and always engaging.
