Augur Issue 5.1

Augur 5.1 cover featuring a dark skinned figure with feathers haloing their head as they cradle a glowing, otherworldly flowerbud. Two background moons shine on their outspread wings.

Our "Joyful Imaginations" issue is a chalice our authors have poured their hopes for the future into. Some pieces find hope in the shadows, through darkness and dissatisfaction. Others are lighter, imagining more carefree worlds filled with delight and freedom.

Check the links below for samples from our longer pieces. If you want to dig in now, the full, designed issue is available now for purchase!
