It\u2019s April<\/a>, gerbils and ladybugs. The fruit trees are flinging their blooms on the floor like temperamental flower girls, the warm breezes are riffling the ostrich feathers on our fancy-ass hats, and the robins are CHOMPING WORMS IN HALF and EATING THEM RAW, according to Emily Dickinson, noted chronicler of bird and bee activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the season, this issue passes swiftly but leaves a lingering impression of wonders and delights. You can read it cover-to-cover and still have time for a sun-dappled stroll through the botanical gardens. Or a moonlit skulk through a haunted forest, if you are of the nocturnal persuasion.\u00a0Poem from Paul Hostovsky<\/a>; haiku by Albert Schlaht<\/a> and Harrison Fisher<\/a>; flash by Jim Suruda<\/a>; cover art by Vivien Krantz<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
