The initial sensation granted to any human being, in utero, is the sensation of touch; it could be said that in our most primary stages, we are doing nothing but feeling. Touch, then, is reared alone, and only after we grow are we indebted to the other four senses. As human beings, it seems as though it is in our nature to always return to the most basic, creature comforts — touch being a sensory retreat. Touch as feeling, feeling as human.
      If you feel something, today, as a human being who exists among other human beings, share that feeling with Luna Negra. Write a poem, a healthy chunk of prose; paint, sketch, film, document. Express what you're feeling in some concrete way, and Luna Negra can be a vessel for understanding your basic touch. Tap into anything that breaks the armature of routine, and we're here for you.
      Luna Negra is Kent State University's literary and creative arts publication. That's all you need to know. We'll be waiting to hear from you.
