Issue 14 – June 2026 – Briefly Write

We’re back.

And we have a brilliantly brief issue to make up for lost time.

Issue 14 contains poems, stories and a photo that together form a patchwork of micro moments. Through this art, we move from public transport to the heavens. We see sun loungers and carrots in whole new ways. And we take the time to breathe in the woods.

The creators in this issue challenge us to zoom out… then zoom right back in again. Things aren’t as they seem. Flowers contain multitudes. Cataclysms hide answers to questions we didn’t know we had asked. For Issue 14, we are delighted to pay all contributors thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

This issue has taken longer to put together than we’d anticipated. In the last year, life has taken twists and turns and some more twists. As a result, things have moved slower than planned.

But we’re now so thrilled to share the work of these amazing creators with you. We hope their words inspire and move you. We hope you’ll forgive our tardiness.

We hope you’ll keep dreaming big and writing briefly.
