Cover | C.R. Bryant
Sparring Partners (oil on canvas). One in a series of original paintings following the America’s Cup AC45 World Tour, based on photos by C.R. Bryant and local marine photographer Ellen Hoke (represented exclusively by the Meyerovich Gallery at 251 Post St., San Francisco). For info: crbryant.com and ellenhoke.com. Bryant will donate proceeds from this cover artwork to the Golden Gate Youth Sailing Foundation’s High School Program, which teaches sailing—plus leadership and confidence-building—to San Francisco students in grades eight to 12. Students pay a minimal fee; most funding comes from the foundation. To donate: (510) 693-9104 or ggyc.com. For more info on this month’s America’s Cup World Series, Oct. 2-7, see Panorama.
NEXT MONTH: Stellar women athletes on the 40th anniversary of Title IX, nonagenarian painter Ariel Parkinson, and our friendly neighborhood grocers.

To submit, paste your essay into your email to editorial@themonthly.com and also attach it as a Word document. No exceptions: include your name, email address, and phone number in the body of your email and at the top of your essay. Deadline: Thursday, Oct. 18
