Heath As everyone knows, a bunch of Southerners, back in the 18th century, sailed to Africa, enslaved all of the innocent natives there, sailed back to America leaving a trail of bodies for the next ships to follow, promptly burned and tortured the ones who survived, then savagely attacked the northern states when they, ever so politely, suggested that this all might be a Bad Idea. Wait. Wait, are you telling me that not everyone knows this? That there might be another side to the story? That the vision of the Civil War shared in public school might really be a case of the winners writing the history book? Surely not! . . . Since I Found Serenity, by Paul Lytle Oh, dear. The recent reflective mood of the magazine has infected even Mr. Lytle. This month he reminisces about a television show, of all things. And a science fiction show at that! What this has to do with a medieval vision of life and art, he will have to tell himself. Worry not, however. This trend will only go so far. He has explicitly promised that the next Jefferson dialogue will not have the vain lawyer speaking on the virtues of Star Wars. Aiming High by Aiming Low, by Anastasia P. Lytle Our ever-popular Mrs. Lytle returns with a surprising look at a certain game that is filled with mud, elitism, pain, and, most of all, fun, and that is dodgeball.

Or is it simply that some people simply need to be pegged in the head with an inflatable ball once or twice? Crosses in the Clouds, by Daniel Morgan Mr. Morgan, ever the refined gentleman, has once again dropped a few thoughts from his perch in the midst of the foliage of a grand oak, this time about childishness and make-believe. We tried to coax him down to say something himself on this work, but he has somehow gotten a library up there, and we might not see him again. Poetry Wanderer’s Hymn, by J. R. Barton Seceding, by Daniel Morgan The Gate at Her Apartment, by Paul Lytle Cover image: "The Path," by Kim Lytle, 2005. This site and all its contents are © Copyright 2004-2005 by the editors.
