Issue 45 (2023)
Editors’ Introductions
Greetings, Subscribers, Contributors, and Readers, All, and welcome to the 2023 edition (issue #45) of The Mythic Circle, the creative writing publication of The Mythopoeic Society. With this issue, we continue the 36-year-long tradition (since 1987) of providing The Mythic Circle as a publishing outlet for members of The Mythopoeic Society and for writers and artists in the general public (we’ve published 45 editions because in the early days, the journal was a quarterly publication—but those days are gone, probably forever).
