Editorial

The theme of this Issue is Connectivity, and it is an inescapable fact that we are currently part of a global society that is struggling to connect. Struggling to connect with our loved ones via the various social distancing measures that are implemented by our governments. Struggling to connect with those same governments as they not only turn a blind eye to racial prejudice, but in many cases actively fan the flames of hate and bigotry. Struggling to connect with a society in which segregation, inequality, and injustice permeate through every stratum of society. We don’t profess that the poems that are gathered here have all, or even any, of the answers to mending these connections, but we hope that in reading them they cause you to think about some of the strained connections that exist in your own lives, and what needs to be done in order to start to repair them…
