Editing this issue was a delight. Reading the imaginative and well-wrought work, I was impressed and gratified. I had hoped for an issue with a diversity of voice and vision, collected on the thread of intense lyricism. I got that and much more. I hope you will enjoy reading the work in this issue as much as I did. California artist Mira M. White’s cover painting, "Our Journey," symbolizes for me the diverse interior landscapes in these works, and how the world within and the world without reflect and touch through art, illuminating both.
