The Jackson Issue of Paradigm is our ninth collection of brand-new fiction, nonfiction and poetry. We're excited to feature interviews that continue to explore the minds of great creative artists, not to mention push the envelope of what constitutes art. In this issue, we examine the complex art of weather forecasting with National Weather Service meteorologist Corby Dickerson,  talk to musician Peter Adams, and hit the road with author and singer-songwriter Matt Palka (Moment in the Sun). Enjoy! -- Paul Fuhr, publisher
