Editorial 101-04: National Poetry Month
Poetry (art) has been around for as long as humans have been conscious. Even the earliest artifacts— pots, tools and cave walls – were decorated. And although these earliest forms of poetry may have been forms of prayer, they do show the imaginative process at work.

Editorial 101-03: Guns are not enough!
And what happens when the writer’s tongue, goosequill, pen or keyboard goes silent. In Canada, not much because we’ve had very little in the way of engaged poetry. In other countries it sometimes meant the death of a poet and also of liberty.

Editorial 101-02
In the ongoing effort to improve this magazine, we have added a few new sections. We are fortunate that Elias Letelier, the “third Stitch” in our editorial cloth, is such a wizard at this digital technology. It is not only his wizardry that makes this magazine possible, but his belief in the necessity for such a magazine. In fact, he has been pushing for this magazine for a couple of years now. And it is his “working like a Third World peasant” (his expression) that has finally made it possible.

Editorial 101-01
By having a lively scene, we are more likely to get some great ones (poems and poets) rising to the top. After all, much compost is needed to grow a single flower. Also, in a multicultural society (which Quebec is, whether the pure laines of language and culture want to admit it or not) variety can only add to the health and vitality of the organism. Inbreeding only results in anemic and incestuous pale imitations of the real thing.
