The Rapids: Spring/Summer 2025 (Print Edition)

The Rapids: A Literary & Art Journal of Southern Oregon Step into a season of creative abundance with the Spring/Summer 2025 edition of The Rapids: A Literary & Art Journal of Southern Oregon. Our Spring/Summer 2025 issue, themed “Wild & Blooming,” bursts with poetry, stories, essays, and art that revel in growth, resilience, and the untamed beauty of the world around us. From voices rooted in the Rogue Valley to contributors across the region, each page celebrates what it means to bloom where you’re planted—and sometimes to bloom wildly beyond expectation. Beautifully designed and printed, this issue is both a keepsake and a celebration of the flourishing literary and artistic spirit of Southern Oregon.
