You'll see names familiar and new and you'll see wonderful fiction and poetry across the pages.

Muscular Dystrophy
By Jeanette Cheezum

Her body twisted, her heart soft,
no one befriended this bright
intelligent girl.

Would she ever know love? The
touch of a masculine hand rewarding
her with the taste of tenderness or the
whispers against her ear of promises
of pleasures to come.

Make divine music for the purity of
this soul. Come forth humble man
straighten her withered body.
