Salt in the Wound: An Anthology of Justice, Equality, and Resistance.

By Celia In Underland, River and Celia in Underland, River Joy

SALT in the Wound is not a comfort read.

It stings. It cleanses. And it burns.

This debut issue of SALT, published by Underland Press, gathers voices that refuse to be silenced. Curated by the same chaotic minds behind The Underland Review (This Zine Is a Lie), it presents poetry, prose, and truth from queer, neurodivergent, and marginalized creators.

From warzones to bedrooms, from glitchy futures to inherited grief, these pages are not asking permission. They are speaking. In case the world ever decides to listen. But mostly because silence is complicity.

Each sale supports the Black Trans Coalition, because survival is not abstract. And art is not optional.

This is not for everyone. But if you've ever felt too much or not enough for the world around you, you might be meant to find it in the rubble.

With love and deep respect:
