We hope spring (at least here in the Northern Hemisphere) is bringing life to life around you – and within you! Perhaps reading these fine revelations will bring some growth.
Issue 27 includes a few pieces with unusually long titles, a few multilingual offerings, and even a brand-new poetic form, the “In-Titled” poem. Please have a nice leisurely read. So much to soak up, like sunshine and rainfall. Nurture the unfolding of your spirit courtesy of this collection of fine work. Make it a great day.
Thanks for supporting Panoply.
Love, Andrea, Clara, and Jeff, Editors
Pray for Ukraine.

So much creativity, poetry meets three-dimensional chess. Proof that constraints cultivate creativity.

Writer’s Block is a Bitch – by Stephanie L. Harper. What an interesting self-imposed challenge! The idea itself is compelling, while the poem, with or without those constraints, is just charming!
