 Cheshire Smile In this followup to last month's short story, Anders' Contrition, math student Farrah awaits Anders at Heathrow Airport. After their roles as student and professor prevented them from coming together in their shared time of grief, will a new life in a new land allow them to find each other... and happiness?
Mama's Lists Author Brenda Ross has a deft touch describing relationships, particularly between the generations. In this all new characterization, she shows what happens when one actively looks for angels.
Life is for the Living Please welcome poet and short story writer Christina Croft to the pages of Kudzu Monthly. She's a fresh voice in her poetry and subjects. From her submission, we chose ten that we thought our writers would enjoy.
 Battle Cry Lou Harper is now our poetry editor. Before she consented to work with us, this award-winning poem appeared in our third issue. Another poet's comment upon reading it was, "I could almost hear the drums." We think you might find a hint of them, too.
The Ghosts of Tunnel Hill, Georgia This article by Connie Scott is one of the most popular, and best-written, regional articles in Kudzu Monthly. Catch it now if you missed it the first time.

Gender Equality: Is Being "PC" mostly "BS"? What started in chat at our writing club about the differences between male and female conversational styles culminated in this. Lisa looks at these differences and proposes that most are because the genders are "wired" differently.
 Fish Heads and Rice Frank Corbi, WW II prisoner of the Japanese and survivor of the "Bataan Death March," is now eighty-years-old. Armed with his tape recorder and his wits, writer and professional pilot Fred Tribuzzo recently spent a day with the Corbis to discover this man's story.
 The Internet Debacle Singer-songwriter Janis Ian (best known for "Society's Child" and "At Seventeen") received an immense response to this article's subject matter when it was first published in "Songwriter Magazine." The specific topic is the downloading of music on the internet, but we think her words are applicable to all types of artistic pursuits and protected works. Kudzu is proud to bring you this updated version.
 I Don't Know How to Read This Book! Professional educator Tina Blue, in her twenty-five-plus years of teaching college-level English, has seen students of various ability come and go. Today, she's concerned that reading and reading comprehension have reached a crisis point. We might speculate about the causes of this problem, but at the front lines of the battle, Ms. Blue is aghast at the effect. Read this, if you're of one of the fortunate generations that can.
