Sam Gwynn has offered the following comment on Richard's chapbook, which will appear on the site:

"Nature is cruel," Robert Frost once said, and Richard Wakefield has taken the lesson to heart in stunning poems like "The Voice of the Logging Camp" and "The Levee." But unlike his often solitary Master, Wakefield reaches out to shake the calloused helping hands that compose a touchingly illiterate letter to a dead man's mother or add another log or bag of sand to fill the breach. "The True Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes" is his signature poem; it is only through pitching in for our fellow sufferers that we fully realize the nature of compassion and, in that, the fullness of our own humanity.

Rhina and David have submitted wonderful manuscripts which the editors hope to have up shortly. Bookmark this site, and keep an eye out for rapid development.
