windowsill gatherings [feature]
By Tseyang Dolma Arow | October 15A gap in the calendar. A kind of pause that hovers as the months bleed into each other, when leaves flow in the wind and daylight thins into dusk. From a windowsill, the gap is like the pause between inside and outside, connecting what is still clinging to what has already stepped away.

on artistry [feature]
By Ivy Rockmore | October 8I have never seen a yellow-rumped warbler in real life, though I feel like I have because of the hundreds of photos I’ve looked at. They are small, stout creatures with a pronounced beak. The black feathers surrounding their eyes make them appear more like deer than birds. They carry daisy-yellow ...

an eye for an eye [feature]
By Katya Michkovskaia | October 8Recently, there has been a curious, serendipitous pattern in my media space. In a week, I encountered three works united by a common idea—the Law of Talion, which may be more familiar to you as the principle: “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” These pieces included the Spanish story “Ley ...

on public shaming [feature]
By Violet Chernoff | October 1In 2018, my mother was cancelled by a Twitter mob. “Katie Roiphe can suck my dick,” one user wrote. Others called her “human scum,” a “ghoul,” and a “harridan.” Enraged by the hypothetical contents of her not-yet-published Harper’s Magazine article, they preemptively took to their ...

turning the hourglass [feature]
By Michelle Bi | September 24Evening breeze winding through my small, soft hands. Tall grass tickling my ankles as I passed. It was just after sundown in the summer, and I was sprinting through a field, and I was still young enough to be unafraid of stumbling.

on good bones [feature]
By Michelle Bi | April 9If you’d asked my twelve-year-old self to close her eyes and go to her happy place, she would have done so dutifully: contemplated, ruminated, and then cast herself to the Burbank, California IKEA.

pilgrimage [feature]
By Audrey Wijono | April 2My grandfather grew up in small-town, middle-of-nowhere East Java, right around the old Dutch sugar plantations.

on keeping a record [feature]
By Nahye Lee | April 2I’ve bought a journal every year since 2018. It’s been seven years, though it doesn’t feel too long ago that I was a middle schooler gripping a ballpoint and carving letters into paper for no apparent reason. I struggle to remember exactly what drove me to my first notebook, what motivated me ...

on "bi-non-practicing" [feature]
By Ivy Rockmore | March 19I take a rest on the oily, heat-stained seats of the L Train to Brooklyn. My feet tingle after the long summer walk to the station, buoyancy enveloping my limbs. I feel the body heat of a close friend from Brown next to me. She sports jorts. Classic. A navy tank top and rose-gold jewelry, too. She is ...

why do writers twist the knife? [feature]
By Nahye Lee | March 12In my Intro to Creative Nonfiction class, I wrote about my grandmother for my first piece. I wrote about her because she was dead, and nothing comes more naturally than remembering a person who no longer exists.

well-arranged [feature]
By Samira Lakhiani | March 5The road between Western and non-Western culture diverges at several points. Most notably, it splits at the core values of individualism and collectivism. Placing priority on the well-being of oneself as opposed to the well-being of a family or community shapes fundamental societal structures and traditions. ...

on equilibria [feature]
By Ellyse Givens | February 261. In game theory, players are assumed to be rational actors, meaning they make the “move” that best benefits them given the choices of other players. That’s why, in economics classes, you draw tree diagrams, starting at the very end and working backward, allowing players to evaluate every ...
