The Almanac
Read Wisdom Here
An almanac, by definition, is a publication tied to the rhythms of the year, the changing of seasons, and reflections on time.
Here, essays are categorized by season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn), preparing the reader to expect literature that shifts with the natural world.
