JENNY ,the vibrant anthology of contemporary literature, celebrates its 11th year of publication with a fresh and stylish makeover. Our grandmothers' wise words echo through the ages, reminding us that "it all works out in the end," even as memories fade with the passing of time. Things that once shone brightly eventually lose their luster, powdered cheeks become dusty, and even the most meticulously applied rouge can be whisked away by a playful summer breeze. What remains are the lingering remnants of heat, stale air, and the texts that delve into the conventions of the past, the suppression of voices, and the echoes that resonate through the present. Yet, amidst this melancholic contemplation, there is also a yearning to breathe, to claim space, and to awaken sunken cheeks with a tender kiss.

Issue 11 of JENNY delves into the realm of graduations and new beginnings with a touch of morbid, unapologetically queer-feminist, and thoroughly Viennese flair. While some things persist, others emerge, creating a tapestry of transformation and growth. Within the pages of this literary anthology, tradition blends seamlessly with a modern aesthetic, presenting a captivating collection of 15 fresh and innovative texts. Selected from the works of talented authors, JENNY showcases a diverse range of literary genres, including poetry, essays, prose, and cross-genre language art.

Each piece in this edition is a testament to the power of words and the endless possibilities they hold. From poignant reflections on love and loss to bold explorations of identity and sexuality, JENNY offers a glimpse into the minds of emerging writers who are shaping the literary landscape of our time. Whether you're a seasoned reader or a newcomer to the world of contemporary literature, this anthology is a must-read for anyone seeking to expand their horizons and engage with the rich tapestry of human experience.

So, as you immerse yourself in the pages of JENNY, let the words carry you on a journey of discovery, empathy, and inspiration. Celebrate the power of literature to connect, transform, and ignite the flames of creativity within us all.
