About This Volume

"What Remains." Volume II turns to what survives after everything else has gone: the pieces of ourselves left behind, carried forward, or quietly let go.

35 pieces from 33 artists and writers publishing under both pen names and their own, spanning contributors from countries including:

• •Persia
• •Australia
• •India
• •Bulgaria
• •Paraguay
• •Ireland
• •Argentina
• •United States

and many more countries beyond

What remains is rarely the loud thing. It is the quiet detail that outlasts the moment it was born in: a phrase, a photograph, a room that no longer exists except on paper. This volume holds thirty five of those details, offered by people who chose to keep them rather than let them disappear. Thank you for reading what they chose to save.
