Ink-Filled Page - Red Anthology

Life is not primary colors. The canvases of life are swept with broad strokes and intricate detail, subjects ranging from yearnings for what we cannot have to rejecting what will not leave. And so art reflects life. As we read Ink-Filled Page Red Anthology, we journey into the creators’ worlds, unable to keep ourselves from dipping our own brushes into the various hues laid before us. Lemon fills the sky when we look back on a land that was once ours, but faded sienna stains the life we never meant to have. And there’s always red—those people in our lives, both loved and hated, whom we pull closer in a scarlet embrace and then shove to crimson exile. And after all that, we fade to white. To the empty page, waiting to be filled again.

All pieces originally appeared in the Ink-Filled Page quarterly online literary journal.
