I sometimes wonder if this magazine is too earnest, then work like Angela Townsend’s essay arrives, and I say: “Okay, it’s fine.” I also wonder how anyone can be religious anymore, but work like Angela Townsend’s arrives, and I think: “Okay, that’s one way.”

“Going to Easter” is the best thing I’ve read this month, and I believe it’s one of the strongest pieces of writing this magazine has published to date. I think you’ll dig it. If you do, please share it.

I’d note that I read Angela’s submission before reading her bio. That she’s a director at a cat sanctuary and therefore an angel had no bearing on my selection.
