A Note from the Editors
Dear reader,
We are proud to present the summer issue of The Memorious and sincerely thank you for your support.
Amidst a society inundated with the blue-light of lackluster language, analogue art can provide us flotation. Thus, The Memorious is meant as a barque, whereupon readers may encounter novel, quality literature that exists only outside the screen's incessant flood.
While still in our early stages, we believe this magazine can become a cultural mainstay. By supporting The Memorious, you join a community of people who continue to uphold the worth of the written word, experiencing its power to make us the passing vessels of an eternal spirit growing humanity throughout the ages.
— Jack, Sean, and Nathaniel
