SEA TO SKY REVIEW
TROUBLE
VOLUME 6. ISSUE 1. JUNE 2025
Something is stirring. Beneath the surface of daily life—locally, globally—there’s movement we can’t ignore. This issue was listed as an Open theme but Trouble stepped in. Patrick T. Reardon opens the collection with a call to wade into unrest, to disturb stillness with a howl. And so the theme of Trouble runs through every page—trouble in memory, in cities, in kitchens, and in church pews. A submariner disappears without notice in Edward Baranosky’s Nautilus Ninety North, leaving behind only a feather and a wet ring. Elly Katz’s Spring Landing listens closely to the noise beneath the noise. In Cami Rumble’s Aunt Mindee, an offhand remark echoes for years, while James Ekenstedt’s Good Son traces a descent from devotion to defiance and back again. There’s grief here, and guilt, but also humour, memory, and the weight of small moments. Once again, our featured visual artists—Edward Baranosky and Cynthia Yatchman—bring another layer to the theme with arresting, grounded work. Thank you for joining us.
