We received a fine abundance of prose, poetry, and artwork for this issue. The featured stories range from visitors and messages from the other side to explorations of friendship and family connections. The poetry transports us from wash on the line to the far reaches of galaxies, while Juliette Gagnon Strong Heart shares her distinctive artwork bridging Indigenous past and present.
Thank you to the writers, poets, and artists who shared this abundance with us. We now gratefully share Smoky Quartz Fall 2021 with you for your reading pleasure.
