The May issue of First Things just arrived on my desk, and it should be out on the newsstands within the week--with Eratospherians as 3 out of the 4 poets included:

Julie Stoner's comic sapphics, "Terra Firma"
Oliver Murray's "Good Friday"
Michael Juster's "Rejection Note for Paradise Regained"

The fourth poem in the issue is Belle Randall's "Playing Scratch-and-Win," and why isn't she posting on Eratosphere like everyone else?

Warm congratulations to all. I remember Oliver's poem; it was among the first ones that, as a very new member, I commented on--with some trepidation, as I recall--and I'm grateful for Oliver's encouragement to comment and not to be shy about it.

Kudos,
Maryann
