Scott Howie proposes a toast to fourW

fourW twenty-nine was launched by Scott Howie, Executive Director of Eastern Riverina Arts. Scott concluded his launch speech with these fine words as a toast to the twenty-ninth edition of the anthology.

"A book is permanent, a quest to stake out physical space is the world.  They are great objects to hold, to stack, to peruse, to rifle through the pages. So a toast. To all the words inked onto these pages. May you find eyes to read you, mouths to speak you, ears to hear you and imaginations to play in.  To fourW…"
