Editor’s Note: 236.13

As we approach the new year, I couldn’t be prouder to present the 2024 issue of 236, which came together with the help of brilliant alumni from Boston University’s Creative Writing Program. In this issue, you’ll find stories, an essay, and poems that carry life and death stakes, and that meditate on the persistence of memory.

I hope you will enjoy reading this issue as much as I have enjoyed putting it together; I continue to be surprised and amazed by the pieces that find their way into the 236 submission queue. 

Sincerely,

Annaka Saari
