Editor's Note 8/24

CLOVER SANDWICH

Trim the crust from a loaf of bread and place bread in a stone jar with clover blossoms; wrap the butter in cheese-cloth and also place in the jar; leave over night. Cut the bread thin and spread with the clover-scented butter; put two slices together and garnish with a clover blossom.

The Up-to-Date Sandwich Book, Eva Greene Fuller (Chicago, 1927)

Welcome to our twenty-fifth and August issue!

I’d say this issue is an ideal example of what we aim for with our issues. We have our usual heady mix of poetry, prose poetry, and visual art, along with a new article in our regular critique series and several music tracks.

Something for everyone, with not too much of any particular thing.

And keep an eye out in the next few weeks or so for new books in our chapbook series! We’re working on several for this year’s Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association grant project.

With that, we present poetry by:
