* The poems identified with an asterisk (*) were part of May’s Pandora’s Chaos challenge to the image found on Page 20 “Stairway”. Our writers were challenged to create a response to the image and incorporate one or more of the following phrases: ‘In the tower of reckoning, the ferns riddle’, ‘In the shelter of intellect, the moss whispers’, ‘In the chalice of conflation, the wardens brood’, and ‘In the histories of admission, the mists sip’.
