The second issue of "The 6S Review" showcases the talents of some of flash fiction's greatest names (Angela Carlton, Joseph Grant), international standouts (Chelle Johnson, Daniel Hughes), and up-and-coming stars (Karissa Satchwell, Emily Fink). Also featured is the poet Shaindel Beers (author of "A Brief History of Time"), who provides the book's excellent introduction.

"A Brief History of Time," Beers' first collection of poetry, is at once an exploration of what it is to grow up in rural America and a treatise for social justice. These poems, many of them award-winning, span a wide range of styles-from plainsong free verse to sestinas to nearly epic works. The characters/speakers in Beers' poems range from the rural working class to mythological characters. These poems look at the world with an honest, unflinching eye. She is one of the up-and-coming poets from Generation X we will be hearing a great deal from in the future.

In the first half of The Children's War, Shaindel Beers looks at artwork done by and about child survivors of war, embodying the voices of the children, their families, and the humanitarian aid workers sent to help them. From there, the book opens out into an exploration of the war at home and the war within ourselves, exploring violence in mythology, domestic violence, and the wars that occur, sometimes, within our own bodies. These poems act as a survival guide, showing that hope exists even in the darkest of places and that perhaps poetry is the key to our healing.
