Issue No. 1 · Volume One
HATCH
What is a place?
Who are we?
What do we dream?
What is beginning?
What is emerging?
What has been quietly growing?
What is ready to crack open?
What is your dream?
Whether Marshall is your home place or simply a place that has found its way into your heart, if you feel connected to this mountain town, you are part of its story.
Send us your words, images, doodles, photographs, drawings, prints, recipes, ticket stubs, maps, memories, observations, lists, letters, jokes, songs, stories, stitched pieces, comics, found language, found objects, crumpled napkins, rain poems and train songs, matchbooks—and whatever else you dream up, as long as it can be photocopied onto paper.
Printed and bound by hand in small editions at Community Make Space, ABOUT US is part community archive, part time capsule, part process object, part love letter, and part ongoing conversation.
