Jan/Feb 2012

Welcome to a brand-new year! The January/February 2012 issue of CICADA® features a wintry road trip in "The Last Continental Breakfast," a poem by Christopher John Adamson. Then sail back to tenth-century England and join Thue, a lowly thrall, and Druian, a Norse chieftain, aboard a Viking-era grave-boat. This might seem a grim form of transportation, but Thue sees possibility in her new role as a grave-bride. Meanwhile, Dragonfly in Tad Kershner's short story sees possibility in everything, while Christine Catlin takes us to South Africa and a real-life encounter with an unlikely chef.
