We are pleased to present you Regeneration, the second issue of CỌ́N-SCÌÒ MAGAZINE. This issue offers poems, essays, stories, photographs and art that tell, in creative expressions, of resilence of humans: they show how humanity is healing from the effects of the coronavirus lockdown which brought prolonged isolation and socio-economic strains.
Only through regeneration can we truly heal and overcome the complete distortion of the economic ecosystem and the social entropy such as fear and panic which was fueled by the pandemic. The literary offerings in Regeneration are full of light and hope, both of which are active ingredients for the medicine our world direly needs.
We cannot thank our contributors enough for their works:
Qudus Olowo, Abasiama Udom, Osahon Oka, Jide Badmus, Onwana Chibueze Declan, Luper Damkor, Ambali Abdulkabeer, Akor Agada, David Alberto Carmona, Vova Krasilnikov, Grafreaks, Ewa Gerald Onyebuchi, Nket-Awaji Alpheaus, Emmanuel Faith, Eketi Ette And Kukogho Iruesiri Samson.
