Vol. 9

Language

This edition observes the contours of language, traverses the rigid lines by which we have defined it, and acknowledges the consequences of naming, classifying, hierarchizing. But as the stories explore tongues and voices beyond the human, the definitions begin to soften and language is revealed as a living thread that weaves us into the world.
