    Abstract: A literary magazine featuring fiction, nonfiction, interviews, and segments of longer works in progress. This is the International Issue. From the editor’s notes: "In this issue, we find writing that proves the immigrant story and re-invents native memories, whether they be from Columbia, Iraq, or even Babylon… Often immigrants and first-generation Americans are forced to choose between fear and hope. In issue four of Make, we find authors and stories that navigate both."
