Bluff & Vine invites you to celebrate the milestone fifth issue of the premier literary review of the Finger Lakes!

This issue is bigger than ever, and not just by page count. The authors and poets featured inside explore the depth and breadth of history, the limits of love and loss, the agony of teen angst and the bittersweet promise of aging. In words, they sketch maps not just of the shorelines and hamlets that make up our region, but of the themes and experiences that contour our love of these lakes and the communities that they foster.

We're proud to welcome back many writers who have graced our pages in the past, as well as an array of new voices you'll encounter for the first time. This issue even features pieces from a father and a son, one a returning contributor and the other a new addition.

As one generation shares with and gives way to another, Bluff & Vine continues to crystallize the essence of the Finger Lakes in poetry and prose. We hope you'll join us again this year, and for many more to come.
