a note from your poetry editor . . .

You are in for a treat (and perhaps a trick or two) with this issue! There are a variety of poems here to sate your palate, from amuse-bouches to full entrees and decadent desserts! Please join me in thanking our poets for feeding our imaginations, and yes, our fears.

Until next time,

Yours in the darkness, the light, and those shadow realms between,

Terrie Leigh Relf
Poetry Editor, etc.
