Table for One

A place to sit with what hurts.

This first issue makes room for grief, numbness, memory, exhaustion, survival and the loneliness that can exist even when life looks ordinary from the outside.

Inside are personal writing, poetry, letters to depression, reflection and practical coping tools for the hardest days.

Inside this issue

For the person who has learned how to look fine while feeling far away.

Table for One begins with a single place setting and the complicated intimacy of being left alone with your thoughts. It asks what happens when joy becomes camouflage, when wanting disappears and when getting through an ordinary day takes extraordinary effort.

No performance is required here. Readers can take what helps and leave what does not.
