EDITORIAL
Many areas of our lives are mysterious: the areas of the past unlit by history, the knowledge beyond the bounds of our science, and the ambiguities of human language. The boundaries between disciplines, like the fine line between science and art, are an opportunity to probe those things that are beyond our reach.
In Issue 9 of TAMARIND, you will find stories that attempt to address the unknown, the undefinable, and the inexplicable. Our contributors push the limits of language; attempt communication between human, machine, and animal; and consider how knowledge passes through generations. This culminates in an interview with poet Harry Josephine Giles, who herself interrogates the boundaries of form and translation in her works, including Them! and Deep Wheel Orcadia. Our cover, by painter James Alfred Hart, draws on the theme of wandering in the woods, stepping into the unfamiliar.
In composing our latest issue, we have had the delight of briefly inhabiting the diverse worlds within. We hope that you can do the same and, in doing so, think in a new way about the shades in which we speak to one another.
