Winter Issue
...............We're Always Standing On Marye's Heights...............


Vol. 6, Issue 5
Date of Issue, December 1, 2007






Winter and "Christmas" are ideas we tell ourselves about
sleighbells, cheer~ when in reality we are at war, still standing
on Marye's Heights looking at carnage; treading on scraps
of sodden cloth and hair~ where life competes
with ghosts, where words are air.

Following along the somber, more
ruminating theme of this edition, I've
chosen the striking digital artwork of
Teodoru Badiu
whose imaginative and disturbing
graphics serve as a reminder that life is
short, and the mind is rife with painful
images. Where do they
come from?
