Ed has a wonderful villanelle and a very witty sonnet in Victorian Violet Press. Nice work, Ed!

...and reading further, I see that there are many Spherians in the issue, including: Jeff Holt, Uche Ogbuji, and David Landrum...others familiar and much loved, such as Janet Kenny and Philip Quinlan, and those we've long admired such as Mike Alexander. I know what I'll be doing the rest of the evening!

Congrats to all!

Thanks, Marybeth. It's a really beautiful issue, as per usual with The Victorian Violet. Since this is an ensemble cast, however, the title of this thread should be changed -- perhaps 'Karen Kelsay (ed.) Strikes Again' or 'The Sphere in Violet'? Yes, that's a terrible pun (the Sphere inviolate), but it's late. Mike Alexander's bio is excellent, by the way.

Best,

Ed

It's all excellent. Congrats, Ed!

Yes, congrats to Ed and all. Spherical invasion appears to be good for VVP. And I am seriously envious of Mike A.s bio!
