POETRY EDITOR
Brandy Schwan "Your preternatural worship enslaves you lonely within nostalgia's echoing towers ~
Is it a blooming melancholy?
Mystic blues of petaled dusk, she falls her bewitching curtain, shadow and trickery...
It is your hour to nod away the repressive doubters;
Escape within your genius creations, search out true love dancing beneath that olive tree ~
It is a starry eyed moon above, "vex" the sober logic!"
