Issue 06 (Homecoming) is a collection of 12 heartwarming and provocatively told stories that unpack the different layers of homecoming—belonging, reconciliation, transformation, homelands, self-discovery—along with the complex feelings and experiences that come with it.
From finding a community in your local grocery store to recalling the memories attached to specific home-cooked dishes, “Homecoming” means something different for everyone. This issue is like congee, daal, or chicken pho for the soul: something you'll want to curl up with, enjoy at all hours of the day, and share with your friends.

Slant’d was born from a series of intimate conversations between friends navigating their place in the world. Bonded by shared values and a craving for community, a small but mighty group of friends came together to create a literary magazine that freely explored big questions about identity and challenged the public narrative about what it means to be Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI).
