Digital Paper: Editor's Notes, August 2008

Editor's Notes, August 2008

Dear Fellow BAWP TCs,

I give you the summer issue of your online magazine, Digital Paper. Issue Seven squeaks out with hopefully just enough time for a little summer reading. As you will see, BAWP writers came through in a big way. This issue boasts an abundance of wonderful writing about nearly everything under the sun, from urban renewal to old wounds, from new life to old swimsuits, plus more, more and still more! Again, the contributors range from the recently BAWPed to our wise BAWP elders. Thank you to all the wonderful writers who built this issue with your magic words.

The issue is also graced by more wonderful artwork by BAWP artists Vicki Sievers, Hector Lee and Barbara Bornet Stumph. Also, thank you to BAWP photographers Marna Blanchard, Erin Berelle Munro, John Levine, Lola Brown, and Claire Noonan for sending in pictures. A big thanks to Art Editor Elisa Salasin for sorting through, tracking down, and creating from thin air the wonderful images that adorn this issue. Thanks also to Misa Suguira, our Poery Editor, for taking time to sort through, respond to and select the wonderful poetry you find at your fingertips.

As you read and look at Issue Seven, I want to issue a challenge to you to consider sending in an audio track next time. If you don't know how, look for an iBAWP workshop in the Fall. Or, open up GarageBand on the Mac or download Audacity for the PC and start poking around (click here for a very basic guide I just dashed off). Or, maybe you have a cell phone that can do it. Or, ask a digital teenager. We would love to add your voices to the next issue!

Enjoy!

Your Digital Paper Editor,
