Coping is not about fixing the big, long-term problem. It's about what happens in between: self-care, self-indulgence, self-destruction. Making do. Making art. Telling the story.
The prose, poetry, and art of SAND 23 are all about coping – from escapism to rituals, dreams, obsessions and prayers. A poet pines for woolly mammoths, obsolete technology and profiteroles. A girl gang drink graveside Jell-o shots. For one grieving narrator, a pet cat proves more of a menace than a comfort. And on the cover, a brilliant bouquet sprouts from unlikely roots.
Based in Berlin, SAND is a nonprofit literary and art journal published twice a year by a team from the city's international community. Featuring work by writers, translators, and artists from around the world, SAND seeks out fresh and underrepresented perspectives.
