A Note from the Editor
A halo into the night cave, a light-giving thing drawn by the poet into the darkness, creating illumination, clearing something out until it dissolves like a “cloud fractal,” Hutchinson’s poem can serve as a metaphor for how the search for knowledge uncovers pain as well as wonder, and in the case of the narrative of this poem, the loss of a relationship. - Guest Editors S.J. Fowler and Rebecca Kamen.
