from The editor
Dear Reader,
I am so proud and so happy that this issue, #57, is now a tangible, beautiful thing.
The stories and poems that the editorial staff chose delighted and surprised me, and I have a feeling you’ll appreciate them too. David Kirby will make you laugh. James Reed will make you cry. Robert A.Kaiser and James Doyle wrote some characters you’ll want to avoid and I want simon smith’s Joshy to be my new best friend. The artwork by Amanda Burnham and David Gracie is wonderful. Thank you to all the contributors. When I first read these poems and stories, I was thrilled such wonderful work was sent to us.
Thanks to steve Thomas for the design and layout of this gorgeous book, and for always answering computer questions. Thanks to faculty advisor Michael Dumanis, media specialist Dan Lenhart, and those that stepped in to help read when the slush pile was too high. Finally, many thanks to former editor Karen schubert for her guidance, support, and vision. Without the work she did on the infrastructure, this journal wouldn’t be here.
enjoy,
Megan M. erwineditor-In-Chief
