From the EC Chair

Welcome to the new Corpse! We apologize for being late and for the state of the world, which delivers us personal and collective blows without regard for our deadlines. Our webmistress has lost a dear friend and grieved hard. A great friend of the editor, has also passed on July 22nd: Ron Sukenick, a great writer. Not long ago we had an e-mail from Robert Creeley: "it was either change it or die, which all too many were and are doing, sadly.  That part of being old I never thought of. Love (AND STAY WELL!), Bob" Well, Robert has left us as well. Yet, and for all that, because of it, and despite of, this issue is full of marvels, little and medium-sized engines of delight that, like the world these days, are powered by sadness, despair, and here and there, a sexy open eye. A 23-city, four countries tour by the editor has had the effect of confirming the above, but also the undying power of stories that go on with or without us, so that if and when one drops in, the stories make room. Feeling like a dequilled porcupine with all one's synchronicity shields down is downright tender, but not all bad. Love, love is all you need. On this cryptic cliché we leave you to, hopefully, spin along with us. Plus, things are still funny and you are still charming.
