A MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHER

 

I’m quite pleased to announce that Saint Paul Almanac (SPA) is approaching its 20th anniversary next fall! In commemorating this landmark achievement, we’re publishing this special summer edition, our second issue of the Global Almanac, that will lead us into a year-long celebration of the Almanac’s historic significance to the city of Saint Paul and to Minnesota at large. We’ve mined our archives to select the best works that speak to the singular style and quality of
the Almanac.

The longevity of SPA speaks to our capacity to thrive not only in the good times, but also in the lean times, the uncertain times, and the turbulent times, especially in the last four years. Simply put, the organization has experienced and endured the elements of a complex existence. Speaking of turbulence, during the last four years, SPA,
like its counterparts, encountered much economic, social, and political upheaval as the world nearly collapsed under the weight of a global pandemic.  During this period, the Twin Cities also suffered social unrest and destruction, and political fallout. Yet, in exploiting the platinum theme of the modern 20th wedding anniversary, SPA is
both precious and strong.  The stories and poems exhibiting joy, resilience, and distinction published in our 13 print volumes and in
our two online editions are testaments to these attributes.  Add this special edition to your summer reading and enjoy!
