Chaotic Merge Issue 8!
Chaotic Merge Magazine Issue 8 is here! This issue features work from 31 different creators from around the world, and in forms ranging from visual art, fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and scripts for film and stage.
Besides the ever-honor of working with the incredible Fiction team (Mason, Lassiter, Isha, Audrey, and EIC Jasmine), I also had the privilege of editing Franz Neumann’s flash piece, “The Night Kitchen,” for this issue. Not only because it’s of course a fantastic story and Franz was great to work with, but because it deals with disordered eating which is a topic close to my heart. (Actually, there were several fiction pieces submitted this issue that dealt with this topic — yo, genuinely, is everyone doing okay??). Franz’s handling of this subject, as well as grief and depression and the philosophy of desire, was really respectful and beautifully written. So, shout-out to Franz for “The Night Kitchen” and for letting me interrogate it behind the scenes a bit LOL.
Tomorrow we’re hosting a Launch Party with live readings from several contributors - RSVP on Instagram!
