[Give Greedily: The Conjunctions GIVE AND GET holiday gift subscription program is back]

From now through December 21, those who give the gift of fearless writing with a holiday gift subscription to Conjunctions receive a one-year subscription themselves—our treat.

To give a gift subscription to Conjunctions and get a free subscription for yourself, order the gift subscription via our secure online ordering portal.

Don't forget to put our GIVE AND GET promo code in the Comments box at the bottom of the second page of the ordering form!

If the shipping address for the free subscription that you'll be receiving is different than your billing address, you should also use the Comments box to let us know the preferred shipping address for the issues that are coming your way.

New subscriptions (for you and/or the gift recipient) will start with our brand-new issue, Conjunctions:67, Other Aliens. In May, you can both look forward to Conjunctions:68, Inside Out: Architectures of Experience. Gift subscriptions and free subscriptions for givers can also be applied as subscription renewals.

To ensure that your gift reaches the recipient by Friday, December 23, be sure to order no later than Monday, December 19. GIVE AND GET subscriptions will be honored through December 21, but issues ordered after December 19 will most likely arrive after Christmas and the first day of Hanukkah.

Ice worms first start communing with me in Forlandsundet, a miles-deep sound north of the Greenland Sea. I don’t speak Norwegian, but I can parse: For. Land. Sun. It’s completely black outside. Det means “that or it.” Det, that’s easy, I’ve been one all my life.

The KV Svalbard is an icebreaker. From the foredeck, the rocky screes sweeping west are the planet’s emptiest place. No one between us and the North Pole.

“Det,” I hear, “Oi Det.” I can’t locate the strange, oblong voice, more of a nose whistle. Near me? but not inside me. I soon give up.

Of course the book she writes—the lesser book, the book about nothing—becomes a popular text, one that readers adore. When they ask her what she will write next, she says she is going to write the book over. Over? they ask her.
Again, she says. She isn’t really a writer, she tells them, she’s a transcriber. She transcribes stories.
Across languages? they ask.
No, she says. That would be translation. I used to do that but stopped, she says. Now I transcribe. I take texts and transcribe them into another version of the same language.
So you rewrite, they say.
No, she says. You’ll see.

The Wave Readers

For thousands of years, the peoples of the Marshall Islands have entertained a bustling interisland travel by canoe and small sailing craft without any of the tools—compass, sextant, nautical charts, and, these days, GPS—on which the rest of the world has depended. Within a purely oral tradition, Marshallese navigators developed a highly refined system of voyaging, relying entirely on their senses to decipher the subtlest of codes in the aqueous environment. Theirs has always been a world of waves.
