The Issues
In its first iteration, Light published an impressive 12 quarterly issues, each filled with striking visual and literary works. As we relaunch in 2025, Light will return as an annual publication, allowing us more time to collect the most compelling submissions and dedicate greater care to the quality of each issue. This shift ensures that every page reflects the highest standard of artistic and poetic excellence. Past and present issues of Light are available for purchase [here], offering a chance to explore the evolution of the journal and its enduring celebration of creativity.
