Theme: Elemental
“This issue has an elemental feel: fire, water and air, stone and metal, hot and cold…plus things seen and unseen…. We have a lady of conflagration and a gift of warmth, a sea of oblivion and a limpid pool, angels, bats and butterflies, a life-and-death choice between stone and brass.”
