<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 />

~~Robin Carstensen and Lizbette Ocasio-Russe~~
