River Styx 3

River Styx 3: Series & Cycles

"Just as     caterpillar becomes pupa becomes butterfly, just as     stages of humankind are still evolving, a cycle may increase in energy as it uses energy, developing strengths & beauty which were masked in the original form. 

Drawing on the issue's theme, "Series & Cycles," each artist's perceptions have been interwoven and juxtaposed into a bolting, visionary river whose tributaries –– origins, travels, love, aging, and the philosophy of life and death –– course through the landscape of human experience. 

While a cycle is continuous, it is not always regular; although it evolves, it is alive only in its present forms; and, most important, a cycle is not senselessly repetitive because A CYCLE ACTIVELY EVOLVES TO A NEW STAGE.

RIVER STYX III has an openness which is rare in life and a     unity   rare among anthologies. The Editor alone is responsible for the final interrelation of the works; each reader alone is accountable for the infinite possibilities which evolve during the readings of this journal.
