Forbes and Fifth

Letter From the Editor

Dear Readers,

I am often asked if there is a theme for each Volume. While a theme always emerges, we never set one. I think this Volume’s theme is one of reflection. It takes a critical look at the current ways of the world and demands more. It makes you want to do better, to see better, to be a part of something better.

If you look at the editor list between Volume 20 and Volume 21, you will notice that most of the editors graduated. Half of the team is new, which I think makes it even more remarkable that Volume 21 is so strong. It is proof that Forbes & Fifth is more than just a journal. It is a living, breathing, thing that is resilient and persists. And it attracts dedicated, hard-working people who see the value of the written word and the power it holds.

Warmly,

Emma Porter

Volume 21, Fall 2022
