A note from your Editors:

Dear Readers, Coreopsis Journal has never shied away from difficult subjects, and never will. As a scholarly research journal and, as such, this issue contains sensitive, adult subject material including discussion of gender identity, aging, death, and the hard questions of ethics and morality that Ms. LeGuin’s original story evokes. Including that of endangered children. We all read “Omelas” and want to stop the treatment of the child. We want to say: “Walk away!” and that is what this issue is about, asking those hard questions about the world we live in and what we, as a society, are prepared to sacrifice, by staying or walking away.  We welcome your letters and feedback. Please send letters to the editor at: [email protected] and include a note if you do not want your letter published in the Spring 2025 issue. We will try to respond in a timely manner. Thank you, the Editors.
