Congratulations to the twenty-seven artists selected for our upcoming “Curiosity” issue! We are thrilled with the quality and depth of our submissions. We had almost the same number as we had for our previous issue, “Wild,” which set a new record twenty percent higher than we had ever seen, and this for a more elusive and abstract theme. From those who return over and over with new jewels and surprises to those included for the first time, we are grateful to our fantastic contributors. Our striking cover, shown above, is “Applause” by Elzbieta Zdunek.
