Bold new ideas.  This issue of IPR is chock-full of creative work from a diversity of writers and a diversity of points of view.

I just can't tell you all how impressive the quality of submissions have been. Almost every day I have that damn! I wish I'd written that feeling. So our writers have been keeping me humble.

And now, aside from Ilya, who never has any reason to be humble, we've been joined by Kevin Hayes. Kevin's story "3 Dead Animals" was his debut publication. He's now well on his way to becoming an ace Assistant Editor.

So now it's time for you to taste the delicacies we've laid out for you. Eat them up - they're good for you!
