Our colleagues at our sister publication, dsm Magazine, filled a wonderful September-October issue. Among the highlights (and this list doesn’t include them all):

“Fairy Forest” takes readers on the journey of a Des Moines couple who live in the Waterbury neighborhood and transformed their yard into a place of enchantment.

“Feats of Clay” invites a look at ceramics artist Annick Ibsen. 

Finally, “Feeding a better world” gives a glimpse of a helpful breakfast program at East High School. It starts like this: “Here they are on on an early spring morning — police officers in uniform, volunteers, a teacher — standing outside the front doors of East High School in Des Moines, 20 minutes before the Monday start bell rings. They hold open boxes of breakfast pizza, trays of fresh fruit, boxes of granola bars. Students have been trickling in for the past half-hour, and with yellow school buses starting to pull up, their numbers swell to a crush of sleepy-eyed teenagers.”
