Image: a tree in a circular landscape of mountains, sun, and vegetation. Text: To everything in life there is a phase, a spin, a twist, a lunge forward, a step back, and sometimes a dosido before the dance starts all over again. Or maybe not. What if the sequence of motion endlessly repeats itself like the looping chorus of a song in only some situations? In others, the turns we generally ascribe to ‘cycle’, the theme of this collection, do not repeat themselves. Instead, they glide right off the ledger lines of memory never to be seen again. Excerpt, A Letter from Guest Editor Karen Pierce Gonzalez. Editor: Phynne-Belle, Art by Tala Lillie.
