Volume 08: A Blueprint Issue

Creation Magazine presents a new collection of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, photography, and visual art that explores the theme of blueprints-those we follow, inherit, resist, or revise.

This issue asks what it means to build, rebuild, or begin again. From personal histories and family structures to imagined futures and architectural forms, these works consider the frameworks that shape our lives.

A diverse group of emerging and established artists and writers offer stories of survival, reinvention, loss, and creation. Whether through narrative or image, each piece contributes to a broader conversation about design, intention, and the quiet work of constructing meaning.

For readers of contemporary literary magazines, this issue offers a grounded and engaging look at how we live within, and beyond, the plans we're given.
