In the five years and twelve issues since its birth Flushed has presented dozens of stories, poems and expressed opinions; displayed paintings, drawings and photos, all giving voice and vision to the thoughts, struggles and dreams of the people connected in some way to Sheena's Place. This issue brings to a close publication in the present format. It's very important to us to maintain the elements that made Flushed unique: a safe venue for expressing opinions and telling stories, a vehicle for sharing information and a special place for people outside Toronto (around the world for that matter) to find a haven of like-minded people and to feel less alone. We would like to be able to do this in a more timely way than our current 3 times a year. Watch the Sheena's Place website for developments and send us your ideas and suggestions. Here's what's in number 13: Surprisingly we didn't have any fiction submissions... look at the archives, there's some good stuff there. Literary non- fiction: Lots in this section... advice for parents on how to deal with the pro-eating disorders websites, a perceptive look at a book on obesity, another about the Montreux Clinic. And a great piece for Dad based on Margo Maine's book Father Hunger. Poetry: Our poets, as usual, provoke us with their visions and their language. Reviews: Some interesting opinions, eloquently expressed. Links: The internet offers a cornucopia of information, we check sites before posting. Gallery: A piece from the talented Patricia Ki , who's appeared in previous issues, a piece of fruit to brighten your day and an accompaniment for the poem Hangnails. That' s our swan song... thanks to you all, contributors who made Flushed such a vibrant and beautiful production, members of the editorial collective past and present, and last but far from least, you dear readers wherever you may be. Keep in touch with us and guide us towards our new website presence.
