Hello My Dears,
I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful Spring with all the green, green, green! These days it’s extra important to breathe in the beauty of nature and the arts.
So take a mental health hour or two to savor this group of literary dazzlers with the likes of Jason Ryberg, William Doreski, Barbara Brooks, Lori Levi and Royal Rhodes, with many more poets!
Don’t forget to check out the Non-Fiction pieces by Ute Carson, Jane Hertenstein and Vern Fein. Also not to be missed are fresh new stories by Jerr Boschee and James Hanley.
Check out the Current issue on the link above!
Enjoy!
~Love Always,
editors,

we had come to the end of the imagination... ~ Wallace Stevens
Hello all!
Hope you are having a wonderful Autumn so far.
The newest issue of The Green Silk Journal is ready to enjoy!
Our latest edition is a bit smaller than usual, which means you may have more time to read ALL of the pages.
So, the question is, which beverage will you choose to sip while you savor the work of our wonderful writers?
I'm sipping Oolong, right now, but chai or hot chocolate sounds good too, doesn't it?
And also, please remember to VOTE!
With Deep Gratitude,
Your editors,
Kim Hazelwood and Will Haley
