Welcome to the second issue of The Labyrinth and is it ever a barn burner. We certainly hope you enjoy the read. Thanks to all our wonderfully talented contributors for making it happen.

Our next issue will be a theme issue -- "The Human Rights" issue, and will coincide with The U.N.'s "Dialogue Among Civilizations through poetry" reading series taking place in over 100 cities during the last week in March. We encourage you to submit, however submissions for this issue will only be read until January 2nd, so get those poems in. We further encourage you to participate in the "Dialogue" readings either by reading in a venue near you or by organizing a reading of your own.
