After five years of publication, the editors of Halfway Down the Stairs have many favorites among the literature we have published. For our readers’ interest and for the use of potential authors, we have compiled a list of those pieces of writing which we have been most proud to include in the e-zine. Thanks go to our former poetry editor, Francesca Leung, for her contribution.
