Spring is here, and the second edition of Krowd Review is is dedicated to hummingbirds and other exotic fauna from the Brazilian lowlands, as lyrically reflected in the wildly flowered, exquisite prose of one of the most important Brazilian contributors to world literature, Jo o Guimar es Rosa, beautifully analyzed by Bernardo Mar olla and translated by our editor Noga Sklar. Moreover, KBR's senior advisor Alan Sklar once said that "art has a random element that comes from the unintended, the collective unconscious. It is magic, it is the universe talking through you." Therefore, not by coincidence, as I was working with this special edition I was not surprised to realize that the Chinese character for "spring" is also the one for "life, love and lust." Each story in Krowd Review #2 - The Spring Edition is a wild journey in its own particular way. What they have in common is the ambition to take you along. Welcome aboard Join the in-Krowd.
