By the end of 2023, we'll have published a total of NINE issues of our magazine. Every story, poem, or piece of visual art published in the print magazine or on our social media reflects the environment of South Florida in some unique way; whether it's a map of a man-made lake in Pinecrest, an ode to dulce de leche cortada, an essay about UFO sightings in South Florida, or an issue chockfull of Skunk Ape lore. these pieces are about what makes our home so special.
