It is with some sadness and some excitement that I must announce that this is the Final Issue of Incarnation.
I am sorry that those who have stuck through to the bitter end have had to wait so long for this, but finally our second issue is out. However, it became apparent while putting together this issue that Incarnation cannot continue as it is. Our Managing Editor Miss. Smith entered a Convent last September; Mr. Othot is working his own job and caring for his family; and I have begun teaching in the last year. The journal simply doesn’t have the staff or energy to push through.
Fortunately there is an upside to all this. Last Summer Mr. Wright joined our team as Director of development. While we were not able to put into action all his ideas here at Incarnation, Mr. Othot has joined Mr. Wright in founding a new Journal on Substack entitled Reveille.
Mr. Wright described it thus:
The name “Reveille” recalls the rousing trumpet tune which begins the day of every soldier. The journal is inspired by the Clarion call that wakes Charles Ryder in Waugh’s “Brideshead Revisited,” prompting his nostalgic recollection of beautiful things from times past, and fruitful contemplation of beauty eternal. The journal hopes to affect a similar response in its readers, prompting a fruitful and sustained reflection on the permanent things by introducing them to excellent short stories, serialized novels, poems, and essays.
In particular, the journal hopes to provide a platform for up-and-coming authors to receive significant online exposure, allowing talented authors to share their work with as many as possible. Somewhat regrettably, the online medium is the best means to accomplish this, but like Charles Ryder’s dull surroundings, we hope it will be for our authors the mere prologue to a great and beautiful journey.
I have great hope that this new endeavor will be fruitful. You can find Reveille here: https://substack.com/@reveillejournal If you enjoyed Incarnation I encourage you to go there and see what they have to offer, some of the stories in this issue have already been published there. I Thank you again for your support and I hope you enjoy this final issue of Incarnation.
God Bless.
In Christ,
Thomas Greninger.
