"The literary editor has to stand behind the work. It has to mean something to me," says Robert Stewart, editor of New Letters magazine. 

As KCUR's Arts Desk launches WORD, a new series featuring the work of Kansas City poets and writers, we get an insider view into the mind of a literary editor and discuss how to craft writing that gets published.

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
