Note from editors in 2023
Firstly this was released on the NYE 2019 and wow we did not anticipate anything. We’re still reassembling the pieces of Arkeia after our website broke, but we will slowly fill them with content as and when we can.
A retrospective on the past decade.
In our first online release, Placeholder Press asked contributors to explore their experience of the last ten years – January 2010 to December 2019 – through personal essay, poetry, prose and art.
The work below addresses gentrification, displacement, neurodivergence, loss, abuse, excitement, and in spite of it all, love. We hope reminiscing will help us celebrate our joys and keep our sorrows in mind, to learn from our past and move into 2020 beautifully.
It’s been a lot. It’s been hard. We’re both still here. I love you.
