Who doesn't like a splash of spice? As I recall, variety is the spice of life, and poets prove that saying to be true, as we put pens together to present OP 2022. Literary strengths emerge after fishing for words in waves of sentiment and surprise, undaunted moods, pain and sadness, adventure and laughter, all in life and death. Taste the diverse flavours spiced with international contributions. Go ahead, enjoy!
