For those of you with no time to browse the links section, I thought I'd pick out some of the best of the best. Give these stories a read.
* Frost Walk. An artist-in-residence has a magical moment while teaching poetry to a class of fourth graders.
* Jesus, the Bowler. My favorite Scot finds transcendence in a Japanese bowling alley.
* Monkeys and Onions. Letters from a different countryside, where Bob Brady struggles with monkeys in his garden. He's also known to speak to monkeys and listen to stones.
* We Are So Close Yet So Far. I can't really describe Ken Loo's writing. You'll just have to see for yourself.
