Wayfarer Magazine Issue 43

We are proud to announce the release of Issue 43 of Wayfarer Magazine, our full-color print edition created to be read, revisited, and cherished through the winter months.

At the heart of this issue is the launch of The Uncharted Project, a bold new interview series created by Wayfarer's founder and Editor-in-Chief, Connor Wolfe. Each conversation begins with one simple question, What does it really mean to forge your own path? Every guest is asked the same ten questions, yet the answers reveal something raw, unpredictable, and deeply personal about the creative life. In this inaugural series, Wolfe sits down with a poignant company of voices: Pádraig Ó Tuama, Chris La Tray, James Crews, and Ana Maria Spagna.

A Tribute to Andrea Gibson In this issue, we also revisit a powerful interview from our archives with Andrea Gibson in honor of their passing. Their words and presence have shaped and inspired so many, and it is with deep gratitude that we share their voice again within these pages.

Protest Poetry and the Power of Voice Issue 43 looks back on the most vital Protest Poetry of 2025, with work engaging themes of transgender rights, Palestine, Black Lives Matter, and the ongoing fight against fascism. These pieces remind us that art and activism walk hand in hand.
