Issue Twenty-Two opens with a pair of poems from long-time contributor Rob Hardy--the first of these comes from the depths of winter and just might break your heart, while the second offers a hope that comes from "the shelter of each other's care." The issue also features poetry and prose by Lynn Aprill, Susan Ayres, Becky Boling, Will Cordeiro, Barbara Daniels, Andrea Janelle Dickens, Jo Angela Edwins, Anna Ferris, Howie Good, Catherine Hamrick, Karen Kilcup, Steven McCown, Victoria Melekian, Ana Pugatch, CTD Robinson, Tan Lixin, and Dilys Wyndham Thomas.
