A table is never just a table. It’s where we gather, celebrate, argue, confess, and learn where we belong. It’s where rules are followed, roles are assigned, and sometimes, someone is left without a seat.
Table Manners, our second issue, explores the rituals and unspoken rules that shape the way we come together. Through short stories, essays, poetry and an interview, these pages ask who gets to sit, who gets to speak, and what happens when we pull up a chair anyway.
