We think this issue is about feedback, but we’d love to hear your thoughts. The five of us welcome you to Pidgin 33. Our trek here was dotted with long discussions in N-107 about entries, en-dashes, and entanglements. We didn’t have a theme to start, but as we read through and selected submissions, we began to think about feedback. It’s not really a theme; it’s a process. The contributors know it well, venturing with us to grow their pieces. We know it too, after arduous meetings and late nights on shared InDesign files. And now you arrive, the next voyager on issue 33. Take it on, and let us know your take on it. Until then.
You are here. Your roadmap, the table of contents, is on the cover. The people who wrote the journey are on the facing page. You’ll see them again between the spreads. Some you’ll meet many times over as they traverse with you—like Cynthia Davidson, whose redlines appear on short writings about memories. We’ve preserved them for you to learn from too. You’ll also catch traces of Whataburger wrappers as you cruise through the essays and experiences that constitute this issue. You’ll approach value. You’ll encounter dystopias of your own creation. You’ll idle at the border. You’ll remember kites in the backyard. Halfway through, you’ll find Hood Century halfway through something. Toward the end, we’ve compiled all the bibliographies. After all that, we’ve left space for you to leave some feedback. But of course, you’re always welcome to leave notes in the margins throughout.
Issue 33 features words, drawings, and images by Leti Ryder, Maria Gabriela Carucci, April Dong, Christopher Loofs, Jono Coles, Mason Petros Magemeneas, Andy Bako, Hampus Thysell, Madeline Kim, Fernando Garrido Carreras, Jerald Cooper, Aidan Quigley, Audrey Tseng de Melo Fischer, Samantha Ong, Maya Freeman, Andrew King, and Adrienne Economos-Miller.
