In an age dominated by internet echo chambers and the relentless churn of the 24-hour news cycle, Solstice Literary Magazine steadfastly amplifies diverse voices, striving to transcend the noise and delve deeply into the intricacies of the human condition. This issue’s Graphic Lit section showcases three unique perspectives that fully utilize the comic medium through the interplay of colors, imagery, and text.
Jenny Belin expands on her exploration of New York City cats with Letters to Dead Feminists, a poignant homage to her “greatest muses.”
Dante Gabriel Hookey explores the philosophy of Maurice Blanchot from The Writing of the Disaster, weaving an abstract experimental poem that unfurls through the fluid motion of arms and hands in May words cease to be.
Finally, Camilo Aguirre offers Grandfather, a moving narrative of his family in Colombia, brought to life through a monochromatic palette and an enticing illustrative style that captures both intimacy and depth.
