EDITOR’S NOTE

What a treat we had in this issue poetry, prose and even a classic inspired Tragedy piece of writing. This issue came together fairly easily as June has started relatively quietly compared to previous months and it was quite a struggle at times. Touches wood things continue like this for all of us going forward. I’ve been keeping up with some of the latest archeological and genetic evidence coming out of Ireland lately and it looks likely that Ireland may have been the origin point for most of the tribes that became identified as Celts and that those who settled here in the Neolithic Period around 6000 years ago were descendants of these people essentially returning to their point of origin. As we unlock more of these genetic clues, we may well answer at long last who the mysterious Sea People’s were in Classical era literature and warnings.

Amazing to think that the people who built the Giant’s Ring in Belfast, Stonehenge and a number of Pseudo Henges travelled so far and left so many markers many of which we find ourselves still admiring to this day. Sometimes it makes you sad that the only written markers of their presence appear as boundary markers or grave markers I wonder what their arts were like?

These are thoughts for another day I hope you enjoy what you have read so far.

Happy reading, good health, and keep creating,
