Volume 1, Issue 1
Editor's Note: Welcome to the premier issue of Booth, a new online journal sponsored by the MFA program at Butler University. We are thrilled to bring you work ranging from insightful to humorous to whimsical. Our vision is to continue to serve these qualities in future issues while also publishing side-by-side award-winning authors and newly discovered artists. In October we will begin to publish humble, little monthly issues that offer a prose piece, a poet or two, maybe a funky list and something visually cool. So check back often.
