    Natural Unselection

    I left my hotel in downtown Atlanta on Saturday morning and drove to Fernbank Museum. After a night of following trays of free wine from one reception room to the next at the Society of Biblical Literature’s annual conference, I needed to decompress. I’d spent the evening without anyone to talk to, resting my hip against the polished oak rail of a hotel balcony, watching PhD students fan out their plumes of tweed and corduroy.

Current Issue

77 / Resilience

We're still here

In this issue, we consider the challenges of living through collective (and too often unacknowledged) grief. How do we keep going in a time of tremendous sorrow? How do we put our experiences to good use? And how do we make room for joy and hope and laughter?
