What will future generations see when they look back at America, circa 2018. Will they see lovely violets in purple bloom or an overindulgent, self-centered, egotistical, greedy society that thrived on tweets, fake news, and grabbing whatever they could away with? The question for all of us who write, as I see it anyway, is what is our responsibility? Should we ignore the blabber, the blasphemy, the bullshit and focus on our poems, stories, novels? Or do we have a responsibility to use our writing skills, at least in some fashion, in an effort to warn of the danger? After considerable reflection I have decided? Have you?

This issue features work by old friends (Brian Daldorph, Alan Catlin, Clay Gibson, and others) and some wonderful new writers (Keith Hellard, Rochelle Jewel Shapiro, Karissa Dong, to name a few).

Cathy Porter, K. S. Hardy, Rod Farmer, Stephanie Hiteshew, James E. Zimmerman, Lynn P. Elwell, Dennis Trudell and more familiar voices.
