Hello Panoply Readers!
Once again, we’re proud and privileged to showcase the fine work included in Issue 28. Though it sounds repetitive, even perhaps overdone, we’re touched by the talent and artistry of our contributors. We’re esteemed by the quality and quantity of our submitters. And we’re indebted to and ever-mindful of our readers. Thanks for joining us on this journey.
We have a couple related to thrift stores, a few about mothers and mothering. Some lovely poetry in form. Lots of travel. Animals and other beings. A smattering of Italy and things Italian. And such fine craft in the poetry of form.
We hope you enjoy the issue, and we look forward to producing Issue 29 and beyond. (Stay tuned for our Pushcart Prize nominations!) Thanks for thinking of Panoply.
Love, Andrea, Clara, and Jeff, Editors
