Issue 01: Coming Home
The theme of Flag Magazine’s inaugural issue is "Coming Home." Home can mean a million things to a million people. To some, home is a person. To others, it’s a place. When you browse through the pages of this magazine, you'll see just how expansive the interpretation can be. In this publication, you will find plenty of fun features. Art, personal essays, resources, interviews, poems, and more.
Issue 02: Apricity
Apricity: an archaic word that dates back to the 17th century. It translates to the warmth of the sun in winter. It was first recorded by English lexicographer Henry Cockeram in his 1623 dictionary: The English dictionarie: or, An interpreter of hard English words. It didn’t quite catch on, and it won’t be found in any modern dictionary aside from the Oxford English Dictionary. Flag Magazine is bringing it back in a beautiful, intimate way.
