Hello, Sphereans. After a five-year hiatus from poetry, I recently put a bunch of new work in submission. The first acceptances arrived today: "Long Bay Jump" and "Harvest" will appear in Alabama Literary Review. I workshopped both of these here this summer. "Harvest" doubled in length (and quality) on the board. My thanks to the members who helped me develop these poems.

Alan

Congratulations. Your recent poems have been understatedly beautiful and precise. If I took five years off, I don't know if I'd remember how to write. There's no substitute for talent.

Way to go, Alan. I've got a couple of poems coming out in that journal too--see you there!

Thanks, everyone. Now that I'm writing verse again, I have found TDE extremely useful. Even the EfH needs a BiP* from time to time.
