Adrian Cole is a weaver of many threads, a wanderer, a guide to those interested in being lost. His works have been included in The Altas Vol. 13, and CitySpeaks; a collaborative work between local writers and the Quad Cities Symphony Orchestra. Most recent publications include; Shattered Constraints: An Anthology of Radical Hospitality and The Body Open Source: An Anthology on Being Human in the Age of AI.
“Cole’s expression of himself in these pieces is innovative and thoughtful. His creativity in this collection is limitless.”
– Morgan Webb Editor-in-Chief of RatTrap Magazine
Adrian Cole’s By The Edge is transformative, infectious. This writing takes the space it needs and invites the reader to be changed. This collection captures life’s moments on the precipice and asks us to look down. It asks us stay. – Sarah Elgatian (she/her) Marketing & Program Specialist | Assistant Director Young Emerging Writers Internship

From the Author
A life is not as cohesive as a story – it’s a collision, a collapse, then claw and build to something new altogether. I’ve always been fascinated by the boundaries we create – between each other, between nature and what we call society, between compassion and violence, between the body and soul. My work is a reckoning of grief, an observation of a collective grief, and a way I pieced myself together to be ready to welcome something more – a struggle toward a life I wanted.
Above all else, in this collection I acknowledge I am animal – as are you – and in this way we can all reconnect. This is a hand extended, and in that way it is a reflection of my greatest hopes and openness.
