INTRODUCTION
A special "thank you" is extended, on behalf of Grey Sparrow Journal, to all those that lit a candle for our Winter Issue:
“Peace and silence came on angels' wings, one cold December day."
The Sparrow had no money in her coffers to pay guest poets Robert Bly, Raquel Chalfi, Alamgir Hashmi, flash writer Tsipi Keller, photographer Shannon Taggert and all the revered contributors noted below. Yet, still they came to cultivate fresh ground for new artists; voices resonating with peace, justice, hope and light during this season of giving.
Arthur Foote's “Psalm” has whispered to us through the ages:
“May peace dwell within our hearts,
and understanding in our minds.
May courage steel our wills, and
the love of the truth forever guide us.”
-Diane Smith, Founder
