Dear readers and artists,
Every tapestry begins with a single thread.
Zartaar Lit was born from a belief in the power of the arts to mend, illuminate, and endure. Like the golden threads for which it is named, this magazine is where poetry, prose, and art intertwine and diverse voices find a home.
This inaugural issue is both a beginning and a promise. Our contributors for poetry, prose, and art have gifted us with pieces that shimmer in their creativity, strength, and impact. We are honored to share their incredible works.
Our team has put together two key aspects of our magazine: In the Liminal and our profile interview, spotlighting an individual who has made an impact. For this issue, In the Liminal explores a key question about Afghanistan, and our profile interview highlights the talented Wazhma Ayoubi.
To our writers and artists—thank you for entrusting us with your work. To our readers—thank you for embarking on this journey with us. To everyone who has been supporting us since the beginning—thank you. May this first issue be the start of something lasting, a golden thread that binds us across borders, cultures, and time.
With gratitude,
Zahra Fatimie (EIC of Zartaar Lit)
