Here we are beginning our fourth year. It's been a rewarding experience publishing The Writing Disorder for all of you. Starting with this issue, you'll see the efforts of our dedicated staff. Juliana Woodhead has done an excellent job selecting the poets, and Sarah Sarai continues to offer her guidance and wisdom in the overall direction of our journal. We appreciate their time and effort and look forward to working with them more in the future. Enjoy all the work in our exciting new issue. —C.E. Lukather, Editor
