Flea 14, with lots of Sphereans
 
Here you go, and abundant congratulations to all, and continuing thanks to Paul for his work.

The Flea, Broadsheet 14.

Congatulations to all! Lots of good stuff here, deserving of more than my first quick reading--but I did especially enjoy Duncan's poem, having seen it evolve here. Special kudos to Tim and Janice, too.

Best,
Jean

What a fantastic issue!!!

Ann Drysdale 03-18-2011 04:30 AM

Yes, Paul scores again!

Janice D. Soderling 03-18-2011 04:39 AM

It is indeed a lovely issue. We are all, poets and readers alike, indebted to Paul and Peter.

Having a ball reading this!

Thanks for the joy, all of you, and thanks, Paul!

Love your reading, Duncan - so good to hear you!

And Ann, as always.

All round fabulous fleas!

Hope you all didn't miss this one in The Flea
 
Not an Eratospherian, but certainly a fine and well-accomplished poet ...

like so many are (me aside) in the current Flea. What a fine issue this is, a real joy to read. And re-read. I can't tell you how many times I've already listened to Ann Drysdale, Peter and David reading...so good to hear the voices of poets I love.

Congrats to all of you in it...I am humbled to be among you all, Les Murray and others.

Can only agree with what everyone else is saying, what a lot of talent here, both Spherians and non-Spherians.

Pat, you too have written poems that stick in my mind like burrs. I loved esp. the ending of your poem.

Actually I could gush profusely all over the screen about all the fine work here, but I have to put my nose to grindstone now and make some money.

Catherine Chandler 03-19-2011 07:26 AM

I hope everyone's listened to Ann's reading!

Susan McLean 03-19-2011 09:22 AM

Wonderful collection! Ann's reading gave me shivers.

I kind of want Ann to narrate my day.

"And he waters his zinnias with a drip drop drip"

Michael Cantor 03-20-2011 01:58 AM

Congrats to all. I just sent Paul (belatedly) a recording of mine. It isn't easy recording a poem which was intended to sound like a liturgical drone and making it sound interesting (I kept falling asleep while listening to it, which might be a bad sign), and the worst part is that my reading is immediately followed by Ann Drysdale, who would make Dylan Thomas sound boring in comparison. I'm doomed.

Adam Elgar 03-20-2011 08:51 AM

Great poems and great readings indeed.
Don't worry Michael, I stayed awake reading Hexagrams (to myself - and thinking of the eruv back home), though I'm sure Ann's spine-tingler helped.

Gail White 03-20-2011 02:12 PM

This is a beautiful issue - the titles alone are fun reading. And I love Janice's maze poem -- partly, I admit, because I just like saying "Saffron Waldon."

Jones Pat 03-21-2011 12:04 AM

And now for our pleasure, Michael reading Hexagram for us:

Wonderful poem, Michael...great to hear you read it...so glad you recorded it.

Andrew Frisardi 03-21-2011 12:32 AM

Congrats to everyone who's in this issue and thanks to Paul for putting it together. Lots of good stuff and a pleasure to look at as well. Janet Kenny's poem just gave me a jolt, and Mezey's monorhyme made me hum. Editing back after listening to Ann's and Duncan's superb readings-singings: good stuff!
