Dear Readers;
With the turning of the seasons comes a new chapter for Humana Obscura. We are thrilled to announce that, in response to the overwhelming support and enthusiasm from our dedicated community, we are transitioning from a twice-yearly publication to a quarterly one.
This decision has been fueled by our unwavering passion for celebrating the beauty and wonder of the natural world through the mediums of the written word and art. By increasing the frequency of our issues, we aim to offer you more opportunities to immerse yourselves in the evocative imagery, poignant verses, and stirring narratives that illuminate the essence of nature—and our connection to it—in all its splendor.
In each issue, you can expect to find a rich tapestry of works from talented writers and artists around the globe, each offering their unique perspectives and insights into the intricate rhythms of the natural world. From the majesty of towering mountains to the delicate dance of wildflowers in a meadow, our pages will continue to be a sanctuary where you can escape, reflect, and find solace in the beauty that surrounds us.
Furthermore, as we embark on this new journey, we are committed to nurturing emerging voices and fostering a diverse and inclusive space where all expressions of love for nature are celebrated. We believe that by amplifying a multitude of voices, we can deepen our understanding of the interconnectedness of all living beings and inspire positive change.
As we embrace this next chapter, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to you, our readers and contributors. Your passion fuels our endeavors and reminds us of the profound impact that art and poetry can have in connecting us to the world around us.
Happy reading,
Bri Bruce
Founding Editor-in-Chief
