EDITOR’S NOTE This month’s edition features a good range of poetry and prose from around the world a truly cosmopolitan edition. The age of advanced infrastructure and online presence means while our world is technically massive, we can scale it virtually and this is a good thing, Our markets have also expanded beyond domestic borders and we should all aim to be one massive community. The past few years have been incredibly difficult for everyone what with Covid, travel restrictions, breakdown on transport and infrastructure and now war in Europe it has been stressful, especially we can only hope that a peaceful resolution is found to this crisis sooner rather than later. I had considered not saying anything about it but I’ve friends working there who are teachers, who went from teaching their children about Math’s, Poetry and Literature to what to pack in the case of an emergency, how to read a map, what direction to travel in to cross the border lessons that most people wouldn’t ever imagine having to learn, yet here we are. I never dreamt that when I came up with the idea of a literary journal in 2012 that we’d be this far in and this far reaching that’s not bad for someone with Dyscalculia. Happy reading, good health, and keep creating, Amos Greig (Editor)
