Pentimento
Magazine
Pentimento (pen' ti men' to) n.
An underlying image in a painting, as
an earlier painting, part of a painting, or original draft,
that shows through, usually when the top layer of paint has
become transparent with age.
The word "pentimento" refers
to seeing beyond the surface.
Through art, photographs, essays, stories
and poetry, Pentimento Magazine will ask its readers to see
beyond disabilities and physical challenges, to see the ways
in which we are all connected, and to find in our pages a
sense of what the poet Emily Dickinson wrote, "I felt
it shelter to speak to you".
The magazine cover will feature artwork
by a disabled child or young adult. Each issue will
include a section devoted to writing by readers on various
topics, an unedited first-person perspective piece, essays,
poetry, photographs and disability-related quotes.
Submissions may be by a disabled individual
or an individual who is part of the community such as a
family member, educator, therapist, etc.
