This third volume of Kinfolk explores how we all might benefit from incorporating more of the things we love into our daily routines instead of saving them for the weekend or our next vacation. The essays and personal stories focus on welcoming food, community, and simplicity into our lives as regularly as possible. The issue is a collaborative project that involved more than 50 artists who contributed essays, photographs, ideas, paintings and films. The issue offers practical ideas (such as On the Road/Off the Grid, Office Hygge and The Goodness of Handcrafted Gifts), reflective essays (such as A Quiet Life, Revisiting Our Temples and Two-Week Experiment) and many beautiful photo essays (such as Morning Rituals, Chicken and Egg and Savoring Spring). It also offers ideas and suggestions from experts such as the family behind Olivia Te Cuida, Marjorie Taylor (The Cook’s Atelier) and the folks behind Marlow & Sons, along with our usual coverage of small events and gatherings. “These meals, moments and places make us who we are individually and collectively. This is the time of year when I mark the calendar for road trips and weekend getaways, and when I start to look forward to summer. But it’s also the time when I pause to enjoy the growing light in the evenings, throw open windows and doors to the spring air and invite friends over to celebrate the change in weather. The essays and personal stories focus on welcoming food, community and simplicity into our lives as regularly as possible and exploring simple weekday ideas that will bring us together. Our hope is that you’ll find small ways to build your community as you read of people working on their own.” —Editor Nathan Williams Publication Design by Amanda Jane Jones Cover Photograph by Seth Smoot
