Acknowledgements - Issue 1
Stone Canoe is dedicated to the memory of Syracuse University Professors Donald Dike and David Owen, who devoted themselves to teaching the importance of literature to diverse audiences, including adult students in the College of Arts and Sciences' Independent Study Degree Program and the Higher Education Opportunity Program at Auburn Penitentiary. All who heard them were transformed.
