The new issue is out. It includes work by Spherian Martin Elster and me. My apologies if I've overlooked any members.

Thanks for the link, Mark.

And congratulations to you and Martin!

Congratulations, Mark and Martin! Mark has two poems, one the issue's Feature Poem. I really liked "Ghosts at the Washita"! Martin, I had no idea you were a musician! I enjoyed "Dialogue" immensely. Kudos!

Jayne and Catherine, thank you for the kind comments! (I enjoyed Martin’s fine poem as well, let me add.) Editors Kathryn Jacobs and Rachel Jacobs—and others over the years—should be credited for a good job with this publication.

[Siham Karami]

Huge congrats, Mark and Martin!! A fantastic publication too.

[Martin Elster]

Mark - Thanks for the announcement. I enjoyed both of your poems very much. I love the phrase “froggy opera” and the second poem got me to read the Wikipedia article about the “Battle of the Washita,” which should really be called “The Massacre of the Washita.”

Thanks, Jayne, Cathy, and Siham! I am enjoying the issue, too.

[Martin Rocek]

Congratulations to both of you!
