Spring/Summer 2026 | Issue 7: THRESHOLDS
We halt at thresholds; we step over them. We edge back from thresholds; we move past them. We can reach our thresholds; pain and hurt can exceed them. Thresholds become a marker—in space, time, and metaphor—sometimes a pause point, sometimes a pressure point, sometimes a passing point. Some thresholds are doors. Others are platforms. Some are arched gates, strung with colorful beads or lights, promising magic on the other side. Others are darkened hallows that fill us with dread.
In this issue of Multiplicity, thirteen essayists, seven poets, and three photographers explore the moments of standing in-between or on the verge, the moments of choosing not to enter or turning back, and the moments of pressing forward to reveal what’s on the other side. The writers, photographers, and editors of Multiplicity present THRESHOLDS. We hope you’ll join us for a compelling, multifaceted, and revelatory journey!
