This issue is the first of its kind in Hellbender history, but we hope it wonÕt be the last. Not only is this our first time making an issue available in print, but each piece contained in these pages (and on the cover) was submitted by someone either currently or formerly incarcerated. The truth is, most people behind bars donÕt have access to the internet (or if they can send emails, they canÕt include attachments), so itÕs becoming increasingly difficult in this age of online submissions for these individuals to submit and share their creative work with others. The Hellbender team wanted to do something about thatÑamplify their voices, if you willÑand so this project came to be., literary magazine, art, fiction, poetry, incarcerated artists, nonfiction, Hellbender Magazine Editorial Team| 9781257878123 | 96PAGES
