If this issue were to be christened, a fitting name would be the title of Daniel Ausema’s poem: “The Romantic and the Pragmatist, Biking.”
Step right up, because we have romantics and pragmatists. We have traditional sonneteers and free form experimenters. We have saints and sinners and freaks playing tennis without a net. In short, we have something for everyone.
We have popular returning poets like Steve Goble, K.C. Ball, Gabe Dybing, and Rumjhum Biswas. We are also excited to welcome new contributors, like LOCUS-nominated Frederic S. Durbin.
Our third issue delivers thirty-one harbingers for 2009. Some are harbingers of good tidings, their jewel-like brevity celebrating life, love, beauty. Others forecast danger and doom, reminding us of pain and loss that must inevitably come to us all. Each of them, whether their words bask in light or rise up from shadows, strives for an expression of truth.
Truth can cast a spell of melancholy; it can stir nostalgia; it can kindle joy. Truth can be funny as hell. Sometimes truth is a lie. Sometimes a lie is more true than the truth. Truth manifests in different guises; its incarnations can appear in as many forms as there are angles from which to view it.
Here are thirty-one angles. Enjoy the views.
