Issue 6

Archetypes is a crafted collection of short stories, poems and nonfiction pieces that explore the beliefs, hopes, and dreams that tie us all together—and sometimes drive us apart.

Inside is the story of bitter, homeless writer, typing lines for unsuspecting patrons; and one of an unlikely connection between a man and a queen bee. The poetry sweeps from lost legacy to iconic cartoon. There’s an essay by an author who asks, “how can we take back the image of a Swastika.”

It’s unlike anything we’ve published before, just like you’d expect.

From the Editor (Excerpt)

“If art is successful, it often discomfits, and it most often discomfits when it shines an unflattering light onto our world. The works within this issue have taught me that even though archetypes are formative concepts, exploring them to the edges of the map can teach us some groundbreaking truths.

It’s what we do with those truths that matters.

Welcome, reader, to one of the most fascinating issues of Bridge Eight I’ve yet had the pleasure of editing.”
