issue 2: hiraeth

hiraeth is a Welsh word expressing a blend of homesickness, nostalgia, & longing. In Wales, it is used primarily as a descriptor of the experience of reminiscing & grieving Welsh culture.  ​

​over the last few months, healthline had asked artists to make that idea their own. for our second issue, we searched for daydreams, space between musical notes, blurred landscapes & manifestations & half-baked dreams. blending with healthline's theme of healing, hiraeth came out as a collection of work unlike anything we've seen before.

we ask you to not share the PDF or e-book link with anyone. healthline runs on an honor system. we do not charge for submission, so the only funding we receive is from issue sales. we trust you will treat us kindly.

healthline zine is run entirely by volunteers and does not profit from any issues we release, social media platforms we use, or anything else. we appreciate donations in order to upgrade our website, buy our own domain, invest in graphic design tools to make the next issue even better than this one, and hopefully, one day, pay staff and contributors.
