METAMORPHOSES
Lives in Translation • Global Edition
Editor: Nelly Vee Co-Editor: Vo Thi Nhu Mai

Editor’s Preface
FOUR MONTHS.
ONE TRANSFORMATION.
Issue 3 is arranged as a four-chapter literary journey. Like the metamorphosis from chrysalis to flight, April awakens the creative voice. May explores identity, family, heritage, and belonging. June confronts survival, freedom, music, and truth. July explores independence, wisdom, legacy, and becoming while the issue remains open as new submissions are added.
Poetry, stories, visual art, cultural reflections, music, and editorial reviews move through these chapters according to theme and meaning—not simply publication date.
“Awaken. Remember. Speak. Become.”
