In this Issue: Relics and Souvenirs

For this edition of a+E, we're launching the 2009/10 mnLIT series presented by mnartists.org. mnLIT will be the new home for both of our literary programs, the What Light Poetry Project and miniStories flash fiction competition. And as we celebrate a new season of mnartists.org's literary series, we're also rounding out last year's stellar competition cycle. Our feature for this issue is Stefanie Robinson, a disquieting and gorgeously rendered new short story by our winter 2008/09 miniStories grand prize-winner, Josh Casey.

PLUS: A panel discussion by artists and journalists exploring the sticky issues surrounding the creative effort to document culture, in the moment as it happens
