Editor's Note:

Welcome to issue twelve of CSR! By now, you regular readers know that my only child has a knack for finding amazingly creative talent without the use of a compass. My baby has the uncanny ability to turn the words of poets into a shoreline with cliffs crumbling and tides rising and falling. Issue Twelve is an excellent example. This month is filled with stunning photographs of European churches, along with art that soars to every nave. 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 carousel of handmade carved horses. Trust me, when you finish this issue you'll feel like a Christmas present just unwrapped. Or you're rush out to a salon and ask the stylist to do your hair just like Loretta Lynn's. Either way, this issue will tickle your taste buds with details seldom found in everyday drain openers. So escape from the chain gang and get busy...
