adventures will be housed permanently here. Poets, visual and
e-media artists, welcome as usual. Pandora Box features Ancient Heart
Anthology review and Chilean-American poet Andres Fisher, as well as

[...] So the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree,
So the wrong-doer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all.
From The Prophet, by Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran
