Theme: Travel and Baggage
Not One of Us #64 evolved into two shorter publications, which we are calling #64a and #64b. Initially this was a way to deal with the printing company not being back to full capacity after COVID-19. But then I really got to like the idea. Subscribers got both parts and ended up with an issue #64 that has more prose, poetry, and art than with our standard 52-page format.
“The theme of Not One of Us #64a is travel. Birds flee, while people are kidnapped or abducted, change form or vanish, cross a causeway to a place with faces but no exit, or hang suspended until the end.
“Not One of Us #64b is all about the baggage people carry: a young woman seeing the human cost of staying alive, someone left behind as excess baggage, others trying to flee, a woman unloading the baggage of expired relationships, plus suitcases and bus stop.”
