We also want to thank our Department Editors: Tasha, Millicent and Leslie for another group of intriguing reviews, interviews and essays.

We are always grateful for all of the hard work and time our Contributing Editors put into getting all of those lovely submissions to PQ. So here’s a big thank you to: Brian Fanelli, Dawn Leas, Arther McMaster, Brian Russell and Elizabeth Switaj.

Of course none of the would be possible without our founder and publisher Lori A. May.

We hope you will enjoy our new issue of PQ.
