We are grieving the loss of my co-editor for Spoon Knife 11. A frequent contributor to the anthology, Mark wanted to try his hand as an editor. One of his last fiction pieces will appear in the upcoming book.

This family of flatworms are hermaphroditic & undergo a behavior called 'penis fencing' when mating. They attempt to stab their partner with a dagger-like 'stylet' to inject sperm, causing the other flatworm to invest energy in offspring production. The battle can last hours. (📷: NatGeo Wild)
