Editor's Note:

Welcome to issue eleven of CSR! By now, you regular readers know that my only child has a knack for finding amazingly creative talent even without a gyroscope. My baby has the uncanny ability to turn the words of poets into seriously warm waters of a swimming pool on a hot night. Issue Eleven is an excellent example. This month has stunning photographs dressed like a zoo, along with art that captures the divine seams of a talkative palette. Add to that, a group of wonderful poets, an internationally-known music maker and one magical book review and you've got the ingredients for a county fair without the bump cars. Trust me, when you finish this issue you'll feel like a Christmas present just unwrapped. Or you're never want to use paper napkins ever again. Either way, this issue will buzz-cut your taste buds with details seldom found in everyday drainage ditches. So find the nearest chain gang and get busy...
