<br />
Like too Heather Connelly's cover poem, but find her masks disturbing. <br />
<br />
Great photo by JBH; a relationship glimpsed in a garden. You're wondering where and what next. <br />
<br />
Intriguing story by Jenny Poulter, though I'm not sure why the protagonist's health should have deteriorated like that. But there is a point to make. <br />
<br />
An eye catching final mask and what an ambiguous figure. It's an appealing theme, masks. Lots to think about. <br />
<br />
Hope "Better Off Dead" does well. Matt has lots of imagination and his writing is full of life so the prospects are good. <br />

Thank you for sending the April issue of EOTE and for publishing my two small pieces!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
I've
already read it, as it is so beautiful! I particularly liked the poems
and the pictures in it, but also the piece of prose and the review are
lovely and very interesting.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
I'm going to reread the whole 'zine, enjoying and savouring every single word, with calm and concentration.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
It's really worthy of a further reading!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
Furthermore I've loved its lay-out and where you chose to put the various photographs and pictures on the different pages.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">What a really excellent read April’s edition was. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. Great choice of theme.All the articles and poems were really moving and of a high standard, particularly Jenny’s <i>The Mirror</i>. Loved the one on our favourite show <i>The Phantom, </i>as well as another of Katie’s reviews. Look forward to the next.</span></div>

His poem <i>The Man</i> summed up the theme of Mask & Mirrors and we are very pleased to be able to include it in the current issue. Enerico's photography website can be found under the list of April's Contributors. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b>Esselle</b> appeared under a different name in EoTE a number of years ago when she was sketching and painting. Now she has moved into handcrafted gifts and you can find an amazing selection of her work at her website. (See the link to the right of this page). </span><br />

<b>Jenny Poulter</b>'s poetry and short stories have featured in several issues of EoTE over the last few years. Her strong narrative style and unusual twists in her stories hooked our attention and made us laugh and cry and share them with our readers. Jenny not only writes, but is also a talented musician. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<b>Katie Wood</b>'s book reviews are a recent addition to EoTE. She chooses unusual books and writes about them in a compelling way, tempting the reader to buy them. Katie has recently started a new job at a Knitting Magazine and her first article will appear in July. Her new blogsite is listed under April's Contributors. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Jonathan B. Hoyt is an amateur photographer with a keen eye for the unusual (see his light burst photograph in the current issue). He has spent most of his life using film camera and only in the last few years has he ventured into the world of digital photography. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">We have featured his photography over the last 18 months in EOTE and find that his unique view on ordinary objects blends well with the kind of poetry and creativity we like to present through the 'zine. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Heather Connelly</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Heather is an artist who also writes down to earth poetry. She lives in Tasmania without the internet and pursues her creativity from home. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">We have featured Heather's poetry and paintings for the last two years in EOTE and her work has also appeared in Freya's fanzine Clippings. She captures real-life in amusing and poignant ways in her poetry and exposes the rawness of gut-felt emotions through her paintings. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">We first published one of Claudia's poems in the April 2010 issue of EOTE. Her poem was about wisteria and we also printed a photograph that she had sent us of these beautiful flowers. Since then we have published Claudia's poetry in not only EOTE but also in Freya's fanzine, Clippings. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Claudia has recently won an award and has also had a volume of poems published in both English and Italian. To find out more about her work, please visit <a href="http://claudiastones.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">a stream of small stones</a> </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Freya Pickard</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Freya has been a regular contributor to EOTE for a number of years. We have published her poetry and short stories as well some of her photographs. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Her first novel, Dragonscale Clippings, was published in 2009 and you can find out more about her writing at <a href="http://dragonscaleleggings.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Clippings</a> and <a href="http://purehaiku.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Pure Haiku</a> </span><br />

This is the first time either of them have been featured in the 'zine.In the April issue you will find some of their poetry. I was going to show some extracts here but the poems are short and as the editor, I would like you read them in the context of the whole 'zine. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">JulesPaige wrote her Elfje first and inspired Elizabeth to write two poems in different forms. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">They both run two blogsites each as follows: -</span><br />

A big thank you to the technical team who got the scanner working otherwise we wouldn't have been able to show you Heather's creativity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">When we opened to submissions last year we received an email from Enerico sending us a poem in error! He hadn't meant to send the poem to us at all but to me it summed up the meaning of Masks & Mirrors in a telling, succinct way. I persuaded him to let us publish it and we then received Claudia's poems along with Freya's musing (not an Amusing as the technical team originally thought!) Jenny sent us her creepy but ultimately positive short story and it felt as though the issue was coming together. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Katie's review of Uglies came across as an interesting comparison to Jenny's story so all we had to do was determine which of JBH's photographs to use. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">We really thought we had it nailed, but something seemed to be missing. We got distracted by life in general and felt a great reluctance to finalise the issue as it really wasn't quite there yet. Our self-imposed deadline came and went and we slowly started finalising the 'zine, re-arranging the pictures around the writing...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">And then...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Then Freya emailed us with an Elfje by JulesPaige. We had never heard of an Elfje before (if you want to find out more click on SimplyElfje to the right of the main page) but we loved the poem. It complimented the poetry we'd already chosen. Shortly after that Freya sent us two of Elizabeth Leaper's poems and everything fell into place. These were what we had been waiting for!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Elizabeth expressed her surprise that we had accepted both her poems for publication as they basically say the same thing. Yes, they do, but in a different way. When I read her poems I felt as though I was looking into a vanity mirror which gives you three reflections of yourself. It's the same reflection but all three are different. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">And then we discovered that Elizabeth had written her poems in response to JulesPaiges' Elfje. Talk about organic creativity! With Elizabeth and JulesPaiges' poems in place we realised that Freya's poem Phantom now fitted into the overall structure of the 'zine. (We'd originally put it to one side, not sure that it would fit in). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So here we are - Masks & Mirrors. All the creative people have done their hard work and we've drawn it together to make it a whole. What do you think of it?</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">What are shadows? What are silhouettes? How are they different? Why are they portrayed as threatening?

An even blend of both, and immediately emotive. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Goddess; I really enjoyed this. Imaginative, certainly as fiction has to be. But it strangely touched, due to the ordinariness of the characters, a reality chord - as if this could have happened. Weird... Good stuff though. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The Rush, Rush Rat Race by Heather Connelly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Reflects feelings we all have entertained about the modern world. I like her poetry. It cuts to the chase but with enough reality/metaphysical analogy to capture the admiration of the poet in all of us.</span><br />

A sad story but the typical British behaviour did make me laugh!</span><br />

I enjoyed reading the tale written by Jenny, her descriptions of the park and of the landscape in general are beautiful. I loved Freya's poem too, its images and its "profound inner rhythm". Then I found Katie's reviews highly interesting; in fact I bought two of the books she reviewed!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
