Current Issue - Fall 2025

Cover artist Autumn Wright’s delightfully quirky take on the still life invites us into this year’s edition of Relief, in which creation brims with surprises. Alice Haines’ “The Grand Jester” sings with the joyful tumble of discovery; Yance Wyatt’s “Unsolicited Marital Advice from Big Mouth Billy Bass” presents a woman’s time of reflection punctuated by the interjections of a vocal fish; Willow Groskreutz’s “The Weight of Winter” paints a sweeping vision of Alaska’s landscape and a life story shaped by ice and aurora. Relief 2025 contains pride, grief, wonder, desperation, and explores the unexpected angles we find in our experience of it all.

For over a decade, Relief has helped shape the landscapes of faith and imagination for readers around the world. In our annual print journal, we feature fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, graphic narrative, and reviews by some of today’s finest literary practitioners, alongside emerging voices. We also publish new reflections on our blog—meditations by diverse writers pondering our contemporary moment through the rich lenses of art and faith.
