The Lines of Love Volume - FOLKLIFE Magazine
For the Tender. The Brave. The Ones Learning What Love Really Means.
The Love Volume traces the shape of love in all its forms—familial, romantic, platonic, and everything in between. It’s about the ways we give and receive care, the boundaries we set, and the connections that tether us to ourselves and to each other.
This Volume of FOLKLIFE explores the quiet, courageous, and complex dimensions of love as it shows up in everyday life. From chosen families to long-distance friendships, from breakups to breakthroughs, these stories dig beneath the surface to find meaning in the mess, the magic, and the in-between.

As always, each volume is printed with care, built to last, and made to be returned to, when you need a reminder of what love looks like in all its imperfect forms.
A companion for the soft-hearted, the searching, and those who’ve loved deeply (and keep doing it anyway).
