The Autumn 2025 “Burn It Down” issue of TrashLight has hit the streets. My poem, “Rewind,” appears along with many other voices in its eighty-plus pages of art, fiction, and poetry. All of this creativity is a call to action, to rise up and rage against the would-be fascist machine that threatens our country 24/7 these days. TrashLight Editor-in-Chief Jill Spinelli has these words to add to the conversation: “This issue is built from the broken screams for justice, the need to be seen, and the feral desire to fight back. It’s composed entirely of artists and writers staring down the architects of cruelty in the halls of power, for those choking on the smoke of a democracy set ablaze by the hands sworn to protect it.”
