05 February 2010
Dear all, We’re back! Thanks for all your encouragement and suggestions – you have kept us going and motivated us to do better! We have incorporated your suggestions wherever possible, so we hope this issue is an even better experience! It’s February, and love is in the air! And we at Spark have made our contribution at this joyous occasion too – read on for a fine selection of poetry, art, short stories and opinions! Not just that, we have people talking about romance in English literature and the happily-ever-after love themes in movies. And it's not just all romance; we do have a line-up of articles on other topics too! We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we did in putting it together. We would just take a minute to remind you that your feedback is our biggest motivation. So, please spare some time to send us an email to comments.spark@gmail.com to let us know what you thought of the February issue. We are waiting to hear from you! Until we see you next month, it's good bye from all of us here at Spark! Cheers, Spark Editorial Team
