Edited by Leslie Archibald, Tyler P Coughlin, Devika Rao, Myrea Schmidt, and Heather Snyder Originally we had six editors for Volume 2 of Remixt, but one of our editors had to bow out. This left us with an interesting situation. We had the budget for 6 issues, and we had stated that there would be…

Natalya by AC Rogers Natalya created a distortion in the airflow of a place when she entered it. Those in it found their faces sucked mouth-first towards her. And their eyes blinked twice. I witnessed it on the first day: she walked up to my desk while I checked through proofs with Bob, the layout…
Remixt Vol. 2, Issue 4 — The Restoration issue Edited by Leslie Archibald
Restoration By Holly Lyn Walrath On the day the saints remove their habits—shedding black veils, letting their long locks free in sheets of amber cotton or untamed tangles of black, twisting around heads like halos—on that day, the flower man comes.

Remixt Vol. 2, Issue 2 — Illuminate – Edited by Devika Rao
Issue Edited by Devika Rao Moving By Michael Chin My father once told me not to make friends with people who didn’t have money because without fail, they’d ask you to help them move. We had been watching the movers he’d paid carry the last of my boxes into my apartment. “Even a girl like…
Remixt Vol. 2, Issue 1 — And After That?
And After That? Edited by Tyler P Coughlin ∗∗∗ Viridian by Deborah L. Davitt Before the plague, Hollywood told us that the end of the world would come in sepia and brown and rust. It would come as graffiti on the walls, and people turned cannibals in the shadow of decaying cities. I remember watching…
Remixt Vol. 2: A Note from the Publisher
Welcome to Remixt Volume 2. This magazine was conceived as an experiment in publishing and editing.

Volume One, Issue 8—Edited by Ezzy G. Languzzi
I tend to lean toward material that addresses social justice and issues of identity and culture. When asked by Julia during one of our class sessions if I thought I’d lean toward those more serious themes I said that I probably would. But then there were a handful of poems that stirred a childlike wonder in me. Perhaps…

A Gallery of Couches By Justin Jannise Way downtown, where every museum was once an unused factory, there stands a gallery of couches, nailed so haphazardly to the walls even the docents complain of an aura of pain.
