Default Sphereans bring it in the new LIGHT

Huge thanks to the many, many Sphereans in our Summer/Fall '17 issue, now live at bit.ly/LightPoetryMagazine... AND in our new Poems of the Week (see bit.ly/LightPOTW)

In times like these, with everybody nervous,
each chuckle you inspire is public service...

Rather than risk leaving someone's name out, I'll just give you a gander at our Table of Contents:

Congratulations to you, Melissa, and to your staff, for producing another fine issue of Light. I've just begun reading from its abundance, and I find myself smiling, chuckling, or laughing out loud. I'm even pleased that it's a cloudy, drizzly day here in southern Minnesota, for that gives me a good reason to stay indoors and read Light.

Richard

Lovely issue, and I was particularly pleased to see Rhina featured. When we last visited her about 2 years ago, I asked her to find "On the Avenue" and read it to us; it's one my my favorites.
