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. 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.
