Dear Reader, 

 

We would first like to thank a few people. A HUGE thank you to Brad Aaron Modlin for advising us through this process and for believing in the project from the first HONK. To Dr. Dawn Simon and the University of Nebraska at Kearney’s Undergraduate Research Program, thank you for your support of this project! Thank you to Nikkita Cohoon from Ritual Morning Studio for consulting us through the design process. A final thank you to everyone who submitted to Issue One, to our contributors, and to anyone else who supported this project along the way. The Goose thanks you all. 

 

The first issue of Do Geese See God asked, "What does it mean to be human?" And we received writing from authors all over the globe answering that question. From love to family, from growing up to reminiscing, therapy to just another day in the park watching geese, all of the literature in this issue has shown The Goose what it means to be human. Though it isn't always pretty, it's the highs and the lows in life that make us human. The Goose sees that now. They look forward to reading and rereading and catching any subtext they missed the first time through. After all, there is no correct way to be human. But the more we know about each other, the better off we'll be.

 

We hope these pieces resonate with you. We hope this nest feels like home. 

 

Enjoy!
