Some of the works we publish are rough in content or language. We decided early on that the paramount consideration was literary value, and that we would not censor if the literary value was there. I've never felt that any of the roughness we published was merely for shock or titillation. It always seemed to me to be necessary to the work, and no one has ever mentioned this as a problem.

In this issue, though, I am somewhat put off (not exactly offended, but rubbed the wrong way) by the content of a particular paragraph in one of the works. I'll be interested in seeing if any readers write and identify the paragraph.

That aside, I feel (as I have for several issues) that we keep doing better and better. I hope you agree!
