Magazine Stand :: Cool Beans – Winter 2024
The Winter 2024 issue of Cool Beans Lit celebrates the philosophy of Yutori, a form of decluttering your personal space and mind. It’s a Japanese-originated practice of slowing down to give oneself more spaciousness or room to breathe in order to recharge and rejuvenate the senses. A clear mind can also inspire one to explore new genres of writing and art.
In Cool Beans Lit Volume 2 Issue 1, editors are proud to bring readers 31 unique contributors who range from brand new authors and artists to well-established creators with many published works. Authors hail from all corners of the globe, including one who is currently unhoused and sharing his reality in eye-opening detail. The issue features poetry by Arvilla Fee, Marc Meierkort, Alan Perry and Grant Shimmin; prose by Angela Townsend and Li Ruan; and visual art by Kelly DuMar, Nuala McEvoy and Robin Young.
To read and experience art is to walk in another person’s shoes and experience new thoughts and events that stay with you long after reading. It’s a way of channeling a deeper connection to others and gaining greater compassion. This new issue of Cool Beans Lit aims to do just that.
