WORDS FROM THE EDITORS
Dear Readers,
Our third issue of Psychopomp Magazine comes to you just after we've wrapped up our first contest season. It was a busy winter, as well as an unusually cold and icy one in our corner of the world. For these reasons it feels quite refreshing to release our first spring issue, and we hope these stories help revitalize you as they did us.
This issue is a bit different from our previous installments in that it includes some of our contest semifinalists: Lisa Beebe's "Wolving" and Deborah DeNicola's "Come Alone to the Alone." Below is the full list of winners and finalists.
1st Place:
"Summer of the Cicada" by Allie Marini Batts
Runners up:
"Heart on a Sleeve" by Julia Carey
"Reina" by Teresa Giordano
Finalists:
"M.I.A." by Shilita Montez
"Clay Pots" by S.M. Knisely
"Looking" by Kelsie Hahn
Semi-Finalists:
“Wolving” by Lisa Beebe

As always, our goal is to show readers something strange and wonderful by presenting excellent and daring prose and art. Thank you very much to all whole contributed to this issue, and to our readers, as well, for joining us on our journey.
