Editor’s Note

Whether serious, humorous, optimistic, or macabre, the poetry featured in this anthology expresses opinions and emotions ranging from those evoked by such universal topics as love and death to more specific topics such as divorce, abortion, or the slow murder of Mother Earth. Though extremely diverse in both ideas and styles, the writers featured here have in common their ability to create the true language of emotion — poetry. I congratulate all of you featured in this anthology and sincerely hope you enjoy reading A Question of Balance.

Caroline Sullivan, Editor
