Thank you for reading Issue IV of Last Syllable. We are incredibly grateful to be showcasing talented and thoughtful writers yet again. The editorial team arranged Issue IV for how the works speak to one another about family, individuality, social structures, and growth. We hope you enjoy reading these pieces as much as we did. Thank you for your continued support, and we will see you again for our next issue in the fall.
