I kind of want Ann to narrate my day.

Congrats to all. I just sent Paul (belatedly) a recording of mine. It isn't easy recording a poem which was intended to sound like a liturgical drone and making it sound interesting (I kept falling asleep while listening to it, which might be a bad sign), and the worst part is that my reading is immediately followed by Ann Drysdale, who would make Dylan Thomas sound boring in comparison. I'm doomed.

Great poems and great readings indeed.
Don't worry Michael, I stayed awake reading Hexagrams (to myself - and thinking of the eruv back home), though I'm sure Ann's spine-tingler helped.

This is a beautiful issue - the titles alone are fun reading. And I love Janice's maze poem -- partly, I admit, because I just like saying "Saffron Waldon."

Congrats to everyone who's in this issue and thanks to Paul for putting it together. Lots of good stuff and a pleasure to look at as well. Janet Kenny's poem just gave me a jolt, and Mezey's monorhyme made me hum. Editing back after listening to Ann's and Duncan's superb readings-singings: good stuff!
