Five short stories highlight the lives of children during a life-changing summer, a divorced man's journey of discovery, a mother and daughter's memories of a long-ago train trip, a sheltered girl seeking to break away from her routine life, and a brother and sister hoping to end a lifetime of rivalry.

It was an honor and a privilege to read for Libre and to be able to publish so many daring and vulnerable poems.

I apologize to authors for whom this news is a surprise. It was for me as well.

Sincerely,

DW

Dear readers of Libre, this is farewell. Libre’s founder, publisher, and EiC, Mary, has decided the project is at an end. Her dedication & expertise are irreplaceable.

With this news, I will also be stepping down from my role as Managing Editor, as there is now nothing to manage.
