Editor Alyce Wilson’s son with a sculpture in Rutland, Vermont
In honor of Valentine’s Day this coming Saturday, our contributors provide glimpses of love:
Kasey E. Johnson’s poem, “When We Think of Love,” takes a long-term, earthy view of love’s meaning.
Terry Minchow-Proffitt’s poem, “Later,” captures the joy of the first hints of young romance.
Regina Burleson’s flash fiction piece, “The Cage,” picks up a fable where an earlier contributor left off.
In his flash fiction piece, “A Love Story,” frequent contributor Wayne Scheer encapsulates the nature of long-term love.
