For the latest issue of @amatorspace, @csuttlehan tries to understand the mass shootings that have occurred in her lifetime by distilling the places they occurred into spaces. “I needed to find some form of emotional commonground,” she writes.

For Nostalgia, Issue 13, @ZanePokorny writes about his dad’s diverse, and at times, odd library of books.

[amator @amatorspace]

When @zanepokorny’s grandma died, he went to Idaho for her funeral and was struck by the town’s old signs. “‘Kalispell’ was the name of a local Native American tribe, the signs told; ‘Spokane’ was another. Names long ago stripped of meaning — nostalgia abides only the good.”

[amator @amatorspace]

In our latest issue, @ZanePokorny tackles nostalgia, remembering how when his dad was sick, he’d read him some of his favorite books. Each night, after he left, his dad would write in a notebook, “When are you coming back?” unable to verbalize because of his illness.

[amator @amatorspace]

For Nostalgia, Issue 13, @ZanePokorny writes about a book from a past love. “She sends the book along, her favorite that her mom would read to her as a child, so I can know her better. She includes a page from her journal the day we met. ‘Being with him felt like being at home.’"

[amator @amatorspace]

“Wherever I am, there is fine / the sky is mine / the window, the thought, the air, the love, / the land is mine / What does it matter if sometimes / nostalgia mushrooms grow?” From the poem we featured in Roots, Issue 8. We love how it ties into our latest theme, nostalgia.

[amator @amatorspace]

“Nostalgia for the past or anxiety for the future both come when events unfolding clash with the narrative, and we scramble to rewrite, reevaluate.” From @ZanePokorny’s essay in Nostalgia, Issue 13. Sign up now at https://t.co/sVwfk2EbnU to read the full piece.

“Down below / My mother washed dishes in the river’s memory.” It’s Throwback Theme Thursday—and we can’t stop thinking of this line from Roots, Issue 8, from the Persian mystic poem “The Water’s Footsteps.” @emilysadeghian and her dad translated the piece together from Farsi.
