About this Issue

This issue of elementia was published in 2009 and featured 24 pieces of writing, six pieces of art and a special feature spotlighting teen writer Patrick Barry.

Of issue seven’s overall content, editor Angel Tucker notes:

“'Breath' 'eyes' 'memory.' These three words sauntered around in my mind again and again as I considered what I would say about this issue—the seventh issue of elementia. Maybe it’s because this issue of elementia is softer than any other issue – soft like the breath and breeze of tree limbs. And maybe it’s because this issue is all about what it is we, you, I believe in – belief being rooted in what we see with our eyes, our hearts and our memories. Mostly my friends, I believe in signs. Breath eyes memory."

The editorial committee for this issue includes library staff selectors and designers Angela Parks, Jennifer Taylor, Gene Ann Newcomer, and staff editor Angel Tucker.
