Open Theme.

We've come a looooong way, baby. We've spun tales of family and diaspora...beat you over the head with class and science...wooed you with love, and love again, and then with neuroses. all this to give you a skeleton to flesh out with your voluptuous stories and bodacious antics.

This issue, this double July/August issue, we release you...to speak as you wish without limitations. Pick your subject...name your theme...point out your demons...sing praises to your saints. Regale us with your tales and humble us with your imagery.

Give us all something that will last us till September.
