INTRODUCTION "Artists are not like the ordered rows of trees in a commercial orchard," writes founding editor, Linda Hoffman, in her introduction to the first issue. "They have more in common with the wild apples growing on the borders of woodlands." Our journal seeks to find these gems in the landscape, let the different arts and visions intermingle, and produce new varieties and voices to sustain us. Let Wild Apples be a haven from cell phones and computers; a piece of reading that takes you into the woods and wilds. As the journal's guiding spirit writes: What a healthy out-of-door appetite it takes to relish
ISSUE FIVE | IN PRAISE OF ANIMALS
Animals take center stage in this fifth issue of Wild Apples. The animal world has attracted the attention of humans since Homo sapiens first recorded this sacred relationship in paintings on dark cave walls in Europe and Asia more than thirty-thousand years ago. In this issue, we explore our relationship to the animal world. Are we distinctly different from animals? Why do they fascinate us? Is it important to preserve the diversity of species on this planet?
