EDITOR’S NOTE:

What if we could gather together the support that others need, compassion for those around us, empathy for the plight of others? The poems in our latest issue may not solve the world’s problems, but If nothing else, you will feel encouraged and find a sense of hope here.  The arts have the power to inspire us during challenging times. I hope that this issue makes you feel less alone and more connected to your fellow human beings.
