Transients Magazine Issue V - forces beyond our control

Published 14 June, 2025 
 Two years of Transients Magazine

The first issue of our newly-set annual publishing schedule, Issue V marks our second anniversary. Over two years of Transients Magazine, much has changed in the co-editors lives, and in the lives of our readers. This magazine is a labour of love that re-inspires us with every submission and comment. 

This was the first 'unthemed' issue we produced. Submissions were open for anything, and it was only after we filtered through them that we started seeing a thread weaving throughout each piece. 

Issue v celebrates powerlessness in the face of the universe. Our lives are shaped by forces beyond our control, whether that be our family's history, the bruteness of nature, or even simply the impersonal insistence that time keeps turning. We are at the mercy of these forces - we must the most of that. Or, at the very least, make peace with it. 

Transients Magazine Issue IV - Searching For What Does Not Exist

Published 30 November, 2024 
For Issue IV, we invited you to consider the concepts of searching and finding ─ how these can motivate, challenge, and sometimes lead you astray. This theme was inspired by the Colombian/Latin American myth of a lost city or kingdom of gold, 'El Dorado'.  It was a joy to collect submissions, and see all the ways searching, even without a chance of ever finding, has led people to live and experience more fully.
