Join us as we step into the blossoming spring with Superbloom, by cover artist Weiwei Xu, and disappear into future past with feature author Robert Silverberg’s ‘Chip Runner’ and Leo X Robertson‘s ‘Bar Hopping for Astronauts’. Take a deep breath and let the aroma of the blossoms permeate your senses because taste and scents infuse Michelle Goddard‘s ‘Bhut’, ‘The Shepherdess: Merveilles’ by JM Landels, and ‘The Smell of Screaming’ by Si WC runner-up Adrienne Gruber. We witness the powerful and varied effects of death and mourning in ‘Life Supports’ by Claire Lawrence, and in Raven Contest winner ‘Good Intentions’ by Nancy Ludmerer. We cross the fourth wall in Erin Mac Nair‘s Raven Contest runner-up ‘It Can Be Done with Words’, we cross the desert in Paige Elizabeth Wajda‘s rhapsodic ‘Heaven or Las Vegas’, and we cross dimensions in PG Streeter‘s homage to Shakespeare in ‘The Earth Has Bubbles’. Phoebe Mol washes away her troubles in the graphic version of Edna St Vincent Millay’s ‘O World’ while Marietta puts out fire with gasoline in the next chapter of Mel Anastasiou‘s The Extra, ‘Frankie Ray and the Blazing Anubis’.
