Good Morning, Evening of Afternoon and welcome to theSpring issue #17 of Lightwood Magazine. Let’s celebrate our art in its many forms and the healing it can bring to the world.
In this issue, along with all the others, you’ll read and view a wide range of poetry and articles including the works of two visual artists featured in our ongoing Artists in Space series.
I hope you’ll take in all the pieces and then please dip into past issues. We keep everything online since we began in the Winter of 2020 and there’s much for you to discover. And, of course, your donations help to keep us going. I wish you all the best and a deeply creative Spring.
