Welcome to TriQuarterly 152. We open with three video essays selected by our guest curator, Sarah Minor, exploring how fragments reveal stories from the space of which they were part. In Annelyse Gelman's "Body with No Windows," fragmented images suggest viewing one's own story through glimpses of another's. This idea is explored further in Miranda Schmidt's "Skin," where a son views his mother as a mythological creature and sees his life in that framework. Essayist Deborah Siegel looks at the mother-child relationship from the other perspective in "Thirteen Ways of Looking at Boy/Girl Twins," and poet Alison C. Rollins takes yet another visual approach in "Develop the Negatives." Furthermore, Driss Ksikes portrays a character who performs a monologue that is fragments of familial relationships in "Fuckin' Family" while Kerry Neville looks at a father and son who pick up fragments of abandonment in "The Assassin of Bucharest." We hope you'll find that these and the other pieces here combine for a remarkable whole and a memorable issue.

Cheers,
Noelle Havens-Afolabi
