For the final issue of Gasher Journal, Ends & Endings examines the contemporary elegy, work that pushes elegiac boundaries by way of experiments with form and language. The journal showcases poems that center around the place known as the end: the end of a relationship, the end of an era, the end of the road, the other end of a phone call, the imagined end of a rainbow, the end of a poem, or the how in which we end: in a blazing firework, in quiet acceptance, in resistance, in love—
 
from the Introduction to the collection:
 
“When we enter the gash we are never alone. The poetry and commentary in this final issue inhabits that gash, reminds us again that wounds and gaps in our understanding are exactly where we need to dwell together. The elegiac waits in that gash, attends to the rising and falling actions of grief, in order to transform absence into something transfigured, full of life, new.” -Rushi Vyas, author of When I Reach for Your Pulse
