Welcome to After the Art’s seventeenth issue.
We hope you enjoy these three essays:
“Tigers” by Amy Bowers
“Joy in the Finding” by Stephen J. West
“Both Sides Now” by Emily Pulfer-Terino
We’ve also started a Facebook page, which you can follow for posts about future issues as well as exhibits, articles, books, essays, and sites that might be of interest.

After the Art publishes personal essays that explore the ways reading and art enrich each other.
