<strong>Switchgrass</strong> <strong>Review</strong> • Vol. 6 7<br />
come so far in civil rights and human dignity, to find ourselves in an epic battle<br />
to stop an apocalyptic reversal, losing long and hard-fought grounds to the<br />
rising factions of hate. In our feared bodies, our hated bodies, and our violated<br />
bodies, we stand and rise to show that we will not be erased; we cannot be<br />
undone.<br />
While our contributors’ experiences vary, they’re all focused on healing and<br />
celebrating our human spirit, hearts, and the vessels which hold them, our<br />
bodies, breathtaking in their fragility and resilience. We’re humbled and inspired<br />
by our contributors’ willingness to share their stories which not only showcase<br />
superior creative talent but also take action against harmful societal standards<br />
and legislation. To our contributors, we hope you realize that this type of work<br />
is essential; it saves lives.<br />
With gratitude and love,<br />
