Welcome to the Magical Realism issue of Twenty20. This issue has unfortunately been delayed due to a changeover in editorship at Twenty20. Therefore, I have put together this special formatted release so that all the poets included within do not miss out on the opportunity to see their work published and reach a wider audience it rightly commands and deserves. To write a poem or short story in twenty words or less is, perversely given the brevity considered, an immense challenge. I feel each of the ten writers has answered this call superbly, and responded well to the theme. I hope you enjoy them: small words but big meanings.
Regards, Colin Dardis, Guest Editor
