The third issue of the literary magazine, Sublevel, investigates the question: “What is stamina?” Through articles, fiction and dialogues, the editors ponder this all-encompassing question and suggest that you need only “look to its etymology and you will find its root in ‘the stamen,’ which in its own course comes from the Latin for ‘Threads Spun By the Fates.’”
The Speculative issue includes a roundtable with Kelly Akashi, FICTILIS, Margaret Killjoy, & Ann VanderMeer; a review of wall-text by Aria Dean; a letter from Ultra Red; a conversation between Martine Syms & Jenna Wortham; a new piece by Will Alexander; a script by Charles Yu; ‘recommendations’ by Adrienne maree brown as well as artworks by 57C, Sascha Braunig, Loretta Fahrenholz, Kiki Kogelnik, Nicole Miller, Christina Quarles & Tiger Tateishi.
