In this issue, writers flex their skills in (and out of) form, respond to art ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Yoko Ono, embody the metropolitan and bucolic, captivate us with characters ranging from motorcycle stunt performers to a playground clairvoyant. We have two stories about showers that couldn't be more different. We have sharks, Gerald Ford, a wolf, Bethenny Frankel, an octopus, and a guest appearance from Samuel Beckett. We have, for you, published this vibrant writing in full, rich color, and we invite you to immerse yourself in the world created here. Come in. Stay awhile. We're happy you're here.
