Welcome to Panorama: The Journal of Travel, Place, and Nature’s 15th issue, on the theme of ‘Paris.’

Paris has long been the site of opulence, resistance, rebellion, and style. It has inspired great writing and writers, philosophy and philosophers. In this collection, we share work that connects with the Parisian city streets, the arrondissements, the banlieues, and more.

Many thanks, as always, to all contributors, and the editors who made publication possible—Paula Lee, Devi S. Laskar, David Ishaya Osu, Amanda Barnsley White, Joelle Renstrom, Kerry Neville, Samuel Autman, Kevan Manwaring, Anis Ibrahim, Tolu Daniel, Sarge Lacuesta, Faith Adiele, Tanya Ward Goodman, and Paula Read.

I’m particularly delighted to welcome Faith Adiele back after a short break from the journal. With Faith’s return comes more views and lenses on Paris, and a new partnership with Elaine Lee—editor of the acclaimed anthology Go Girl: The Black Woman’s Book of Travel and Adventure.

This issue has been an opportunity to dream, to give way to romance, to lust, to look back. But, also interrogate recent events, politics, and different lived experience. We give you PARIS.
