Enpyrean Empyrean Issue 14

Empyrean Literary Magazine is a print and digital publication of poetry, fiction, and artwork. Issue 14 Summer 2025 features the work of 18 contributors. Special additions by Mel Einhorn. The theme for this issue is Fate & Destiny. In the intricate tapestry of human existence, the threads of fate and destiny weave profound narratives that explore our roles as architects of our lives versus mere passengers in the cosmic flow. This theme invites writers to delve into the philosophical underpinnings of choice, inevitability, and the sometimes preordained paths we tread. Through the lens of fate and destiny, we ponder questions such as: Are we governed by the stars, or do we carve our own trajectories through sheer will? This exploration opens a door to stories that reflect on the interplay of personal dreams against the backdrop of larger forces-be they mystical, divine, or societal-shaping our journeys through the world.
