'Well, here it is! Another fine issue of SWAMP, filled with ambiguous delight. For Issue 33 we asked our contributors to reflect on the theme of Maybe, and boy did they deliver. This was good, this was very good. Initially we were maybe a little concerned that the open-ended nature of the theme would lead to work with uncertain heart and soul, or that folks would be put off from submitting by the loose parameters we’d set for them. But, surprise surprise, our fears were unfounded, and we might in fact have received a greater than usual deluge of quality work from around the globe. As always it was a struggle to pick and choose between pieces, but eventually we narrowed it down to the fine selection you see before you.' (Editorial introduction)
