EDITORS' NOTE:
Welcome to Horse Egg Literary's inaugural issue! Here you will find blossoming worlds of whimsy and wonder, entire gardens nestled in the confines of couplets. To some, gardens are a windowsill filled with roses, a pastel meadow. For others, gardens are a lover, a bed, a tiny hydroponic farm. Whatever yours may be, we invite you to explore all that gardens bring us, and the little bits of magic they hold.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us since our launch in October 2020. We are so grateful for every single person who submitted, and we hope to continue publishing more of you in the future! This year has been hectic, to say the least, and we would never have been able to hatch our brand new literary magazine in this world without all of you. Our vision came to life because of the beautiful, quirky, and vulnerable pieces of poetry and visual artwork we were entrusted with overseeing. We are so thankful for every weird word, every fried-egg photo, and the imaginative spirit you all have shared with us.
Wishing you all the best 2021 has to offer,
Arielle & Kristen
