cover art for All My Relations Volume 8 depicting The head of a woman emerging from the ocean. Waves crash arounf her. The top of her head above her forehead transforms into an owl. The moon sits in the background, covering most of the night sky.

All My Relations, Volume 7

All My Relations Volume 7 is an art and literature, online and printed magazine, exploring the theme of “rest.”

All My Relations, at its core, is a reminder that we’re all interconnected. May these ruminations on rest, the ways our ancestors rested, and stories of what happens to us when we refuse to rest, remind us that another reality is possible and inspire us to collectively invent a new world where rest is a given and grind culture is a choice.

All My Relations, Volume 6

All My Relations Volume 6 is an art and literature, online and printed magazine, exploring the theme of “resistance.” Volume 6 was guest edited by Charlie Perseus.

All My Relations, at its core, is a reminder that we’re all interconnected. This Indigenous ethos became visceral for me as I watched in horror while the IDF indiscriminately bombed Palestinian civilians trapped in Gaza. In August, when this publication first opened for submissions, we couldn’t have known just how needed the message of Resistance would be. I hope that these pieces can help keep us strong in our Resistance and steadfast in our support for a free Palestine.

All My Relations, Volume 5

All My Relations Volume 5 is an art and literature, online and printed magazine, exploring the theme of “overcoming.”

While the pieces contained within this anthology are specific to each creator’s unique experience, the drive and push to persist against the odds is a shared experience. Whether the obstacles were internal or external, we can all relate to the journey, and the frustration felt when these barriers come from otherization. And we can all share in the success and pride that comes with each story of overcoming.

All My Relations, Volume 4

All My Relations Volume 4 is an art and literature, online and printed magazine, exploring the themes of “disability” and “accessibility.” Volume 4 was guest edited by nat raum and tommy blake and open to creatives with a disability only.

As someone who spent most of my life chronically ill, it was horrifying to watch people I considered near and dear take a laissez-faire approach [during the coronavirus pandemic] to community wellness and position their frankly dangerous approach as a matter of opinion or their “right.” It was hard seeing people I regarded highly consider our relations disposable…None of us are ever disposable…We are all interconnected, and together we create a beautiful tapestry that is as rich, diverse, and beautiful as this collection.

For some of us, finding where we belong takes time and access. But once we find where we belong, our thriving knows no bounds. I wanted to provide a space for my BIPOC, LGBTIQA2+, and/or disabled relations to share their stories of belonging.

All My Relations, Volume 2

All My Relations Volume 2 is an art and literature, online and printed magazine, exploring the themes of “colonization” and “decolonization.” Volume 2 was open to BIPOC creatives only.

I wanted to provide space to my fellow Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color to share their authentic stories. To reflect on their ancestors, to explore the complete variety of feelings that come from decolonizing their history, to explain the rituals that help them cope with the effects of colonization, to muse on alternative realities where colonization never occurred, and/or to reflect on a colonization-free future. To share, to say in their own words or visuals what they wanted to say, and to, hopefully heal.

All My Relations, Volume 1

All My Relations Volume 1 is an art and literature, online and printed magazine, exploring the theme of familial (blood, adopted, affirming, community, or other “family”) loss or ancestry. This volume prioritized traditionally marginalized creators, but was open to all.

Each of our journeys through loss is individual, but we don’t need to experience that journey alone. I hope that as you review the pieces in this anthology, you feel a sense of communal healing with all your relations. With love to all my relations.
