When
was the last time you put on a swim suit and jumped into the icy cold waters of
Lake Michigan in the middle of goddamn winter?
For us here in Stoneboatlandia,
it has been almost one year to the day. Yes, my friends, it is time once again
for our annual Polar Bear Plunge fundraiser. (Donate here.) Let me say right away that I, Poetry and Arts Editor
Lisa Vihos, do not go in the water. I leave that to the professionals. I have
carried towels, blankets, and hot chocolate. I provide the warming house because
I live near the lake. I just don't go in.

Polar Bear Plunge 2016
That's right! We're taking the plunge—again. In 2014 and 2015, our editors-in-chief rang in the New Year with a plunge into the icy waters of Lake Michigan to raise funds that have helped Stoneboat Literary Journal stay up and running and able to continue publishing great fiction, poetry, nonfiction, graphic literature, and artwork.
