Over this past summer, we’ve all been through conflict, change, and uncertainty—yet, we’ve braved through it nonetheless. This is humanity’s resilience: to fight and fight like the endless seas.

At its essence, Storm Surge Magazine exists to celerate global youth writing. Thus, in this issue, you’ll find poetry and prose from all over Earth that challenge, inspire, and move. These pieces embody the power of change—of turning uncertainty into a strength in words. We are never voiceless. We are always together.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. Immense gratitude to the volunteer staff at Writing Waves, NewPages, and all of the young writers who submitted to this literary magazine. We hope you feel the surge.

Sincerely,

The Editors of Storm Surge Magazine
