Welcome back, Segullah readers! This issue, the prose board offers four essays from our creative nonfiction and fiction staff members. Take a trip with Prose Editor, Sherilyn Stevenson and consider how God’s laws influence creativity in “Order and Art in New York City.” Then, experience with Co-editor-in-chief, Shari Crall, fitful hours which lead to reassurance in, “It Was a Dark and Stormy Night…” Next, newest board member, Emily Debenham, shares a glimpse of Mormon Literary criticism from the perspective of author and reader in “Want to Build a Stronger Literary Culture? Learn the Art of Appreciation.” And finally, enjoy an adorable story of real support, as Prose Board member, Sherrie Gavin, describes how her favorite children’s book helped her reconcile illness with her identity in “My Circle of Dancing Elephants.”
