A note from the editor
Autumn has a way of making change visible. What was once green becomes gold, the familiar landscape shifts, and the passing of time announces itself in color and light. Yet there is no simple ending here. The world is rearranging itself, revealing patterns that were difficult to see before. Literature offers a similar invitation: to look again, to reconsider what we thought we knew, and to discover the unexpected possibilities waiting within the ordinary.
For twenty-five years, BlazeVOX has been a home for this spirit of exploration, publishing work that takes chances and welcomes the strange, the difficult, the playful, and the unclassifiable.
