First, I need to thank the contributors to our publications for their patience & understanding. We have, at last, & through no fault of the poets, Minisides Nos. 4 (corrected), 5, & 6 (for the unaware, that’s Les Murray, John Tipton, & Paul Muldoon respectively), & Pam Rehm’s chapbook will be going to the bindery next week.

Secondly, we have for you this update poems from new contributors Michael Heller & Mark Scroggins, prose from Zach Barocas, & photographs from both Cultural Society Man-in the-Street Cary Conover & the ever-luminous Jason Ian Moriber. I hasten to add that if you like what you see from the latter image-makers, you can investigate further at their websites, which are conveniently listed on our links page.

I’ve got a wealth of material on deck so keep an eye peeled for a mid-month update.

Shouts, Thanks, & Vigorous Praise: The First String, Alex & Amy & Little E., Team Ripe, & Jenni/Lunalux.
