I'm excited to announce the publication of Artists from Maryland's second issue! Here's my editor's note:

Issue 2 of Artists from Maryland brings ten amazing Maryland-based creatives and artists into light. Kay Mi’s winning poem “it’s april again” begins the issue, a poem about “the frost rushing / beneath our skins” that brought us chills that we could not get off. The pieces that follow “it’s april again” similarly rushed beneath our skins as we at Artists from Maryland got the chance to review them all.

Speaking of the others I worked with to curate this issue, I want to give a huge thanks to nat raum and Diamond Abrams, as this issue would’ve been impossible to curate without their great judging capabilities. All three of us hope you enjoy Issue 2, and that you keep supporting the wide world of art in Maryland.
