A little Shop-worn? You and Todd Swift both, so let David Greenslade gather you up into The Fold where Richard  Schiffman can expound My Theology in a Nutshell while Jane L. Dards provides The other point of view. From Eric Paul Shaffer comes A Greek Myth of Fire, or you can accompany Davide Trame and Titian on his Journey Home. Anne Ryland has her narrator Running Along the Furrows of Shirts, but what is Merryn Williams up to with a Letter to my Rival? June English has some Inklings, as will you, on perusing this issue.
