Cutleaf celebrates the end of our first year with this all-nonfiction issue.Elise Lasko speculates on the potential for relapse while imagining her mother’s death and funeral, in “Relapse Fantasy.” Carter Sickels moves to North Carolina, and realizes that “the universe keeps moving, surprising you with what it drops in your path,” in “Rescued.” And Greg Bottoms recounts how his father and grandfather expressed—or didn’t—emotion, in “One Summer Morning.”
The images in this issue, known as “spirit photographs,” were taken by controversial medium William Hope who became interested in spirit photography after capturing the supposed image of a ghost while photographing a friend.
