Excellent work and worth the wait! I’m am massively impressed by all of the work and detail that has gone into this issue, and I tip my hat to all who made it possible, especially Rosaria.
The whole issue is very good, but I especially liked “Tolkien’s War” by Matthew Hill-Spur for its explanation of Tolkien’s little-known participation in World War I, and how it influenced his fantasy world, which would eventually become Lord of the Rings, as well as other noted works.
It is a compelling story about his war experiences and the horrors he witnessed, as well as the tragedy of losing almost all of his friends in the process, but also speaks to the courage and bravery of many of the common working men, who he saw as “superior” to himself.
It was particularly fitting to see the connections he makes between the war and the stories he created – topped off by his insight on fantasy being a way to escape, and how it is like an imprisoned soldier needing to escape to his freedom.
For my part, I have never read Tolkien, and nor have I watched the films based on his writings. However, I may well start looking into them thanks to this piece.

I just had the opportunity to read The Traveling Troubadour’s article on his encounters with Gene Roddenberry. As a long-time Trekkie, this was truly a gem. In addition to the fascinating anecdotes themselves, the writing style was eloquent and filled with life. I also enjoyed the profound reflections included. Bravo!! I would love to read more from TTT!

Miss Gina,
Thank you for taking the time to read my encounter with Gene Rodenberry. I am gratified that you had found it interesting and entertaining, and I’m sure that he would have been honored to know that you were such a loyal fan of his Star Trek creation. In reading your essay, “Many Waters”, I can see that you have taken the seed that was given to you by your mom and watered it well! I’m sure that she is proud of your thirst for the art of writing, and would cherish the thought of someday being known, not only by her own given name, but world-wide as “The Mother of The Author”!
Blessings,
TTT
P.S. If you happen to pass by a certain tech wizard “Vincent Michael” on your trip through the galaxy, relay my gratitude to him for working his magic and helping bring “The Great Bird” down to earth and into issuu format! 😉
