And Spindleshanks too! (That's Peter Moltoni to the rest of the world. Don't worry, Ed, it took me a couple of years to find that out.)

Congrats all; I look forward to reading.

It's always a pleasure to read 14 by 14. I expect to be overwhelmed by the classy sonnets found there and always am. Plus the artwork. Hats off to Pat Jones for compelling choices. I'm looking forward to another great read.

Thanks, Ed, for announcing.

Pat's illustration for my Shelterbelt poem is simply brilliant. And Spindleshanks! Never knew your right name. Very fine poem, as are all the other twelve.

It’s a delightful issue and fine company.

Thank you, Pat Jones, for the harmonious graphics.

For your caring work, Peter Bloxsom, thank you. And, for enduring the vexation that one of your contributors heaped upon you, heaven’s hospitality is sure. The other will tarry elsewhere.

I add my appreciative voice to the praise for Pat Jones' work. I love her illustration for my sonnet.

And I'll add a public thanks to the private thanks I've sent Peter B. for the great work he does to support us sonneteers.

Best,
Jean

It's nice to find myself included in such elevated and talented company. Congratulations to all.

Thanks, Pat, for the so apt illustration. I'm particularly taken with the sense of departure it imparts, and the sense of loss implied by the misty definition. Thanks, also, to Peter B. for the acceptance, and his hesitant acceptance of the title, once explained. And thank you, also, Maryann, for outing me, though my profile also does so.

Bill Loses Susan was workshopped here some time ago, so thanks are also due those who helped with the polishing process.

I'm going to be frank here: Does anyone but me find the "new" format annoying? I have not read the issues very often since it was changed.
However, on everyone's fervent recommendation, I'll definitely check out this one.

EDIT: After looking, I take back the above. It's much improved from the way I remembered it. Thanks, all.
