The editors of Rock & Sling believe that the act of writing, and of reading, literature is a way of witnessing to the truth of experience, drilling down to the core of language's vitality, and accepting an understanding of artistic language as a kind of testimony. The word witness means to testify: to tell the truth. The compulsion of the word is bracing in its charge to the writer to understand the his or her work matters not just as an expression of experience and response but as a n active language engaged morally as well as aesthetically. To tell the truth is an act of responsibility as well as an expression of hope. To testify is an act of responsibility as well as an expression of faith.
