Editor's Note 10/22

Que tu meures absous ou damnΓ©,
marmottait Scarbo cette nuit Γ  mon oreille,
tu auras pour linceul une toile d'araignΓ©e,
et j'ensevelirai l'araignΓ©e avec toi!
Whether you die absolved or damned,
wheezed Scarbo in my ear that night,
you'll have a spiderweb for your shroud,
and I'll bury the spider with you!
Aloysius Bertrand

Welcome to our thirteenth and October issue! We think this issue strikes an appealing balance between verse, prose poetry, and visual art – something we aim for with every issue. We’re also delighted to bring our readers work by a few familiar names and reader favorites, along with several promising newer poets and artists.
