Introduction

In the sprint to publish the issue, writing the introduction is the step I look forward to the least. Not because I dislike writing it, but because I can’t wait to get the issue online and in front of readers’ eyes. As a result, my introductions are short and fail at the task of communicating how wonderfully the writers have crafted their poems and prose. I ask that you look past the introduction and spend time with the work within.

For issue four, Mark Barr, has signed on as our Fiction Editor. He brings a keen eye for narrative and we’re lucky to have him. Mark will continue as Fiction Editor for future issues as well.

Special thanks to all of the writers and readers who continue to support Scintilla.
