Out Now: IHRAM’s last Literary Magazine for 2025
Stories on the Move: Voices of the Unhoused.
Having a place to call home is a privilege that many of us take for granted. For some, the right to housing and shelter often seems like a hopeless struggle to remedy.
The authors and artists in Stories on the Move document personal experiences and depict reflections on homelessness through lyrical narratives and affirming poetry. These stories brim with glimmers of hope, unveiling the realities of housing adversities while also reinforcing a deep resilience for a better life. Featuring sixteen writers and four artists, this magazine provides a heartwarming and empathetic insight into the lives of the unhoused.
IHRAM Press Magazine proudly provides a platform for these voices, offering a space for poetry and prose to resonate with reflections of emotion, hope, and the enduring connection to one’s identity. The IHRAM Press magazine was created with a simple goal: to celebrate and uplift up-and-coming authors from all over the world; each of the authors in this anthology contend with their identities in the context of their environments, providing readers with their unique perspectives on issues of human rights.
