The purpose of this issue was to answer the question, "What keeps people moving when all signs are telling them to stop?"

Featuring photography and illustrations by David Potes, Cali deWitt, Kristian Hammerstad, Margaret Durow, Patrick Savile, Jake Blanchard and Sam Brewster.
The cover is excerpted from the photo essay ZORA! by Ted Hollins. Ted's photography captures 21 years of the Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities, held annually in Eatonville, Florida. The festival celebrates the memory and influence Zora, and the endurance of the City of Eatonville, the first black municipality in the US.
We felt a portrait of Zora, Eatonville and the concept of endurance would be incomplete unless her writing was showcased. Thanks to Harper Perennial and the Zora Neale Hurston Trust, the short story "Sweat" by Zora Neale Hurston has been reprinted in its entirety.
As a gesture of respect and gratitude to the memory and work of Zora Neale Hurston, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Annalemma Issue Seven: Endurance will be donated to The Hurston Museum, an organization dedicated to showcasing works of artists of African descent.
What people are saying about Issue Seven:
"There is aesthetic beauty in this hip, young-feeling magazine, and beauty is one of the main things that helps people endure... Design is what makes many want to share a magazine with friends. Design can make a good magazine great. This particular magazine, founded in 2007, will hopefully endure for a very long while." - Newpages.com
"I’m convinced that every issue of Annalemma that comes across my desk will end up being a good read, as well as something I can show to my friends and say, 'look at this pretty journal. Isn’t it pretty? Don’t you wish you had such a pretty journal?'" - Vol1Brooklyn.com
"Annalemma issue 7: Endurance in which the publishing team ask the ether ‘what gives a person forward momentum when every sign around them says give up?’. Big question and one that is answered with relish by a winning team of writers and artists, new and established in a collection of stories, essays, art and photography." - ItsNiceThat.com
