Dear followers,
The notion of challenging oneself and challenging others is what we had in mind for this issue. “Cloak and Dagger” has received submissions from NYC, PA, CO and MA and we are all very excited to share the results of the past three months of work. We have the great painter Zachary Johnson, whose recent exhibit in Denver caused a sensation. We have the poet and musician Reva Williams who talks about the challenges of what it means to be an artist and who is performing at our very special opening event this month. We also have a children’s story from a dark perspective and in the search for the perfect location we found a magical puppet factory that makes me smile every time I think about it.
We hope you enjoy this issue, as we do each month,challenging the ideas you bring to it and maybe make you think about the world a little differently. 
see you at the party,

Amanda Maciel Antunes
