I started Right Hand Pointing in response to a fever.  Hotter than a pepper sprout.  It wasn't in Jackson--it was in Birmingham, a somewhat similarly situated southern USA city.   I sent out an announcement about it to a couple of thousand people who play the Irish tinwhistle.  (It's a long story.)  A couple of those people were writers who submitted and then encouraged a few others to submit and, surprisingly quickly I had enough material to put up what I thought was a solid first issue, "Pilot."    Comes now our second issue, "C-Cell."   This issue features our first gallery of visual art, a set of lovely collages by Carolyn Adams, a number of poems I enjoyed reading, and a fine and pleasantly enigmatic short story about birds and relationships. 

Incidentally, in keeping with our target audience of those with short attention span, my hope is to publish short issues that include short pieces, with relatively short intervals between issues.  For those of you now wondering, I am 5' 9" tall.  Maybe 5' 8 1/2".  Ok, more likely 5'8".

I'd like to call special attention to "Glory Wings" by Darrell B. Grayson and also call your attention to his bio.  Learn what you will from the poem and the bio. 

I hope you enjoy this issue.
