Each edition of the Occasional invites a guest editor to talk with artists, thinkers and members of our community about questions that we have and topics that move us. For the second issue, we invited playwright Will Arbery to do the asking, and in turn he invited Alexander Borinsky, Matty Davis, Mashuq Mushtaq Deen, Corinne Donly, David Greenspan, Phillip Howze, Julia Jarcho, Modesto Flako Jimenez, Mia Katigbak, MJ Kaufman, Kristine Haruna Lee, Sofya Levitsky-Weitz, Daaimah Mubashshir, Rachel Marlene Kauder Nalebuff, Caitlin Ryan O'Connell, Zach Rufa, Ren Dara Santiago, Celine Song, Jordan Tannahill, Kate Tarker, Alice Tuan, Korde Arrington Tuttle, and Madeline Wise to consider the notion of "invitation."
