While I was putting this month's issue together, it really struck me, in a hard and sad way how much anger was radiating out of some of the submissions I was reviewing. How many poems and stories were reflections of rage and frustration at sexual, physical, emotional abuse, how many pieces were cries of pain-- mourning for an innocence that can no longer exist.

And while I'm more than happy to provide an outlet for this work-- in fact, it's one of the major reasons I started Grrowl! in the first place-- I do long for the time when my submissions in-box will be filled by writings that celebrate how wonderful and rewarding it is to be a woman.
