Ending a tumultuous year in the world at large, the Winter issue of Witness is filled with stark dilemmas. Jennifer Doe chronicles a lifetime of #MeToo incidents triggered by the election of Donald Trump in the essay “Any Woman Can Write This.” In Alex Madison’s short story “Penguin Classic,” a rivalry between teenage girls takes a dark turn at a lake house. And Adam Greenburg's poetry series "from Fortune" is assembled using only language from Fortune 500 company names. As always, we’re proud to share writing that reflects contemporary struggles and which re-interprets those truths to allow readers to escape into art.
