New Issue Here

We just received the Spring 08 issue from the printer, and it looks really good. I'll look around for an image of the cover to post soon, but not until we get a chance to send it out to our contributors. Hopefully we can surprise them.

Sorry our reading has a been a little slower than usual. Most of the editors have been out of town for the break. We'll get back to that shortly, especially since we've also got contest submissions to read.

More later.
