Halophyte: Issue 1

The second installment of the Halophyte magazine. Issue 1 takes its cue for walking from the French expression for 'faire une promenade'—a term that suggests not just going, but also doing, or making a walk.

The contributors used the many synonyms for walk—wander, stroll, saunter, roam, ramble, amble, meander, plod, trudge, dawdle, hike, tramp, tromp, stomp, slog, trek, march, glide, stride, sashay, troop, traipse, tread, patrol, prowl, promenade—as possible prompts.

Walks were made. Then maps. These maps show us how a map can be made of many things—line, shapes, images, words, photographs—and how a map can be many things—a poem, an essay, a story, a list, a graph, a chart, a collection.
