Contributors' Notes
Welcome to volume 5 of Résonance. Our editors invite you to explore the new offerings they've selected.
It has been energizing and gratifying to witness how the community of writers associated with our journal has gradually widened. As we continue, we're publishing more recent work by past contributors, appreciating better the scope of their creativity and intellectual engagements. We're jazzed by pieces from first-time contributors that explore both fresh and familiar territory and employ artistic methods that dialogue with what appeared in our first four issues. I feel confident that the playwright and actor Greg Chabot, whose vision guided this journal's inception, would be heartened by what Résonance has become so far.
Once again, we are extremely grateful to Jacob Albert for his help with our web presence.
—Steven Riel, Editor-in-chief
