For each edition of the "New Plains Review," we receive countless submissions from writers and artists all across the world. And with each edition, we are never disappointed with the total mastery of imagination, creativity, and craftsmanship that we witness from what we receive. The freedom to display creativity and self-expression has always been of the utmost importance to the "New Plains Review" as a literary journal. All of the pieces that we have chosen-from "Elmo in the Passenger Seat" to "When Bouncing Bettys and Truth Collide"-are works that we feel promote this idea of creativity both in narrative and in style exceptionally, allowing our readers to continue to view the world in ways that they may not have considered before-in a way that only art and literature can provide. We are proud of the imagination and creativity of the artists and writers whose works we have displayed in this journal, and we are pleased to present to you the Fall 2015 Edition of the "New Plains Review."
