This issue looks a little different because of the computer layout, including some strange, funny clip art. But the poetry is just as strong, generally on the experimental side, but some very literal too. Things seem to lurk beneath the facade in these pieces, making you want to dig deeper, ask questions of yourself as you inquire of the poem. Perhaps it is best summed by Malok's inkblot glyph "God's Entropy". MISSIONARY STEW will continue to expand and invent, changing physical form as it goes.--Jake Berry
