Letter from the Editor
Dearest Reader,
How marvelous to embark on this journey together with all of you. Under the constant, unfailing cycle of Sister Moon’s phases, I have been humble witness over these last three years to the creative growth and budding, flourishing inspiration that have imbued themselves upon the work of the writers who have so generously contributed to this inaugural issue.
I am so blessed to call many among these poets, friends—chosen family. This project is a long overdue love letter to them. Their being, their energy, their poetry, have enriched my life beyond even what clever words can express.
To this creative community, my heartfelt gratitude always.
Phynne~Belle
