RE | Issue 18 | 2020
This is issue 18 of RE:, a magazine for everyone in Norton Rose Fulbright around the world and for our friends, among them our clients and alumni. In this issue, we listen to the voices of 21-year-olds in the southern and northern hemispheres, waiting on words of hope and consolation as the pandemic continues its sweep across the globe. We tell stories of travels in times gone by—among them a tale of Lebanon from Claudine Salameh in Sydney—and we sing the praises of our home towns, starting with Leaf Dilts McGregor in Minneapolis and moving on to that little red dot that is Singapore, home to Pooja Balani. We have music to raise the spirits in our playlist from Newcastle and books to take us through the long nights of 2021 from Farmida Bi. We have dogs, in the snow, in Calgary. Animations from Russia. The poetry of Louise Glück, read to us. All of this: all these moments that connect us—this is what it means to be alive.
The next issue will appear in the summer of 2021. See you then.
