Dear Prattlers,

As the semester draws to a close, the dark days of winter wrap us in a wretched embrace. The cold outside amplifies the dreariness in the air. Seasonal depression moves in and unpacks its bags. As a foil to “Nostalgia,” we introduced “RAGE.” Consider it a bit of free therapy. In this issue, we invited our contributors to seethe, to boil over, to get even, and to let their heavy emotions flow freely. But above all, we wanted them to dismantle their rage and examine those pieces. We wanted to read about rage as a constructive and creative force. But how does one write about a complex emotion such as rage? The truth is that anybody can rant about the horrible things another has done to them, but we didn’t want pieces only bitterly recounting scenarios. We challenged our contributors to go deeper, to find that productive anger. We wanted them to sit down with their rage. To name it. To tell us what it looked and felt like. To ask it what it wanted and to know when it was right and when it was wrong.

Art is a form often used by the overlooked and threatened to fight against oppressing forces. It is speaking without words or alongside them–– it is resistance. My art is a weapon, and yours is too. Let’s use it precisely.

Willfully Yours,

Ingrid Jones
