Cobra Lily is a review of art and literature, focusing on the cultural and natural environs of Southwest Oregon. We seek to promote voices from this region, as well as voices outside the area which speak to the natural rhythms and experience of life here. Why Cobra Lily? The carnivorous pitcher plant exists most abundantly in Southwest Oregon. This native plant has distinctively adapted to thrive in our region. We draw inspiration from this plant because we dare to be as unique, publishing the diverse writers and artists of Southwest Oregon's extraordinary landscape and culture. Issue Seven features the work of the following artists (in order of appearance): Waves Forest, Kelly Waldin, Tom Siewert, Sue Lily, Veronika Trishyna, Susan Gustafson, Vicki Snitzler, Pam Haunschild, Barbara Parchim, Annette McGee Rasch, Pepper Trail. Letty Gomez, Zvi Baranoff, Rachel Goodman, Gary Lark. Miles West, Kay Ekwall, Chas Davis, Joyce Abrams, Kaci Elder, Angela Franklin, Michael Spring and Jasmine Blu.
