Editor's Note

Welcome to the second general issue, the third issue overall, of Voices Unheard! To returning readers, welcome back to yet another issue full of works on varying topics. And to newcomers, welcome to Voices Unheard, a publication dedicated to providing a platform for individuals to make themselves heard through creative expression. We aim to raise awareness of a variety of topics, from mental health to lived experiences to social justice. Above all, we share the voices of the unheard.

So thank you to the contributors who chose Voices Unheard as the platform to share the many amazing works we’ve had the privilege of publishing. As well as to the readers who take the time to read and hold space for everyone who has contributed to these issues. Voices Unheard could not continue without you all, truly.

This particular issue follows no theme and instead highlights the poems and narratives by twenty talented writers, some of whom have written in previous issues and others who are publishing for the very first time. The contents of the Spring 2026 issue vary from poems illustrating lived experiences to short reflections about grief and trauma; though each work is sure to leave a lasting impact long after you close the final page. So please, take a long look at the works in this issue and enjoy!
