[Richard Leis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such beautiful fiction and poetry about death, loss, grief, and apparitions. They're all so good, including an interview with the cover artist and an essay by a hospice nurse, that I cannot pick a favorite, and describing each one would only recapitulate the issue's tone setting "A Word from Our Editor." I'm looking forward to reading more issues!
