Letter from the Editors

Dear Readers,

The world is full of words, with more added each moment: we pore over them on pages, and peck them into screens, whisper them into ears, or string them into song. Yet so often the real story, the truest, gets told by what is left out. In this issue of Belletrist we collected the unsaid, unwritten, unheard. Words typed, erased, rewritten, and left unsent. Words caught in the throat. Their ghosts haunt these tightly tied pages. We invite you to let them out.

The Editors
