Issue 8 is, like Issue 7, blank and without a theme—with its title (or lack thereof) stylised as an open bracket, in hopes that whichever piece you're currently reading will take centerstage as the main title. Margins acts as a blank slate for students, and this issue sees our contributors present their own journey of inquiry. Each of these works is a foray into the roads our writers have travelled, and we hope their exploration of literature in their unique ways serves as a fresh perspective. It is, after all, not so much about the road less travelled by, but simply about the road our travellers have taken.
