About Place Journal‘s latest issue, “On Freedom,” features poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, visual art, video, and hybrid works that question what freedom means in our turbulent world. The pieces in this issue explore freedom’s dual nature: liberation from oppression and the power to create, speak, and flourish. Authors and artists also speak to the small habits that sustain our daily capacity for liberty. Through formal innovation and boundary-crossing creativity, our contributors show how art itself is an act of freedom as they map territories of intimate personal moments and bold political landscapes.
