Happy Holidays to friends and subscribers of DESCANT!

As 2009 draws to a close, we want to express our thanks to all who have supported us through another successful year. Your commitment to the literary and fine arts community is deeply valued: the generosity of a devoted readership makes the work of small publications like us possible (and gratifying).

From Dogs to Dance, DESCANT has enjoyed bringing you four volumes of the best in new writing and visual arts, from Canada and abroad. We hope that issues 144-147 have provided you with many hours of stimulating, satisfying reading — and that you look forward to curling up with more in 2010!

We are excited to celebrate the official launch of DESCANT 147 in January and are busy planning more good work to share with you in the New Year.

In the meantime, warm wishes for a safe and happy holiday — from DESCANT.
