Issue # 15 MISFITS

Buy issue # 15

Inside MAKE #15, “MISFITS,” you will find stories, poems, essays, and visual art that, though well loved, didn’t quite fit in previous issues whose themes heavily referenced architecture, play, satire, myth, and more. In addition to the previously unpublished pieces, we’ve included new work, conversations, and translations that illuminate the misfit: the unconventionally lovable; the lonely prick; the light-hearted rebel; and the refused.

While creating these issues over the years, we’ve hosted scores of events and have been fortunate to meet many of the people who give this magazine — and the contributors therein — a place to belong. Thank you.
