Welcome to a new, beautiful April edition of Spirit Fire Review. The essays and poems in this issue come together to bring joy, knowledge, wisdom, remembrance, gratitude, and love. I'd like to thank the following authors, poets, and editors for making this happen: Elizabeth Brooks, JD DeHart, Renee Drummond-Brown, Eduardo Escalante, Edilson Ferreira, Cindy Bousquet Harris, Veronica Michalowski, Mary Missouri, Ruth C. Rehberg, Sravani Singampalli, Lucia Walton Robinson.
