Issue Two continues the work After/Thought Literary set out to do: to make space for writing that arrives quietly and stays with you. These pieces lean into uncertainty, memory, and the moments we don’t immediately understand—work that resists easy resolution and trusts the reader to sit with what remains. We’re grateful to the writers who shared their work with us and proud to present our second issue.
