Well, here we are: the last issue of Three Drops from a Cauldron of 2019, and in fact our last issue until 2021, because your editor is taking time out for big personal and family reasons (nothing bad, just busy, with a lot of changes coming up).

In this issue we have Persephone, witches, a house spirit with a strong dislike of cigarettes, a battle between oak and holly, a wild party in the land of fae… and of course, all things winter, more than a little death and the promise of renewal.

Since I won’t see you before – have a wonderful winter holiday season, and a brilliant 2020. We will be back in the new year with a couple of new poetry books, but the journal will catch you when we reopen for submissions in spring/summer 2021 (and with a reduced publication schedule).

In the meantime – happy reading!
