EDITOR’S NOTE

“In order to find yourself, you need to get lost in the forest of life.”
-- Mike Dolan --

This was the theme of the Second SLR Writing Competition. The multitude of submissions presented a variety of interpretations to “Lost and Found”. Poems and short stories alike dealt with issues relating to physical objects, human values, global points of contention and so on.

Here are the winners of the competition in both categories. Entries have been edited for formatting and grammatical purposes. The panel of judges credited them for their originality, command of language, expression of thought and new perspectives.

Enjoy the read and Eid Mubarak!
