BRI BRUCE, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Readers;
I’d like to take a moment to congratulate each of our contributors and, if you’re new to our publication, welcome you to this wonderful nature-forward creative community! If you’re merely stopping by to check us out, thank you. I hope you find joy here.
This latest issue was a pleasure to curate and compile. I continue to be impressed by the beautiful art and writing that has found its way to us, and am so grateful that we have such an expansive reach and are bringing together people from across the globe. We have a record number of contributors, 84 total, spanning as far as South Africa, the Cayman Islands, Australia, and throughout Europe and North America.
The Spring/Summer 2022 issue is a door stopper of volume, and we hope it will have a long shelf life—get dog-eared and revisited, perhaps taken with you on your travels, gifted to friends and family, or live awhile on your coffee table.
Humana Obscura was born out of the pandemic, and during these continued pandemic-riddled months, I’ve sought refuge and escape in nature time and time again. I hope this issue inspires you to get outside, take notice of the world around you and your relationship to it, cherish our wild places, perhaps reflect on it–in writing, by painting it, or by taking a photo of it–or just allow yourself to be truly present in it.
Happy reading,
Bri Bruce
Founding Editor-in-Chief
