New Moderator Announcement
 

Dear Eratosphereans,

I'm pleased to announce our newest moderator, a long-time Eratospherean, at ease with paint or ink, truly a wonderful poet and critic, who's ready to don the stars of the Eratosphere Staffdom, Updated Procedures and all in tow, as a co-moderator for the Metrical Poetry forum. [Insert drum rolls ...]

Rick Mullin is a journalist and painter whose poetry has appeared in several print and online journals including Measure, Unsplendid, Envoi and The Flea. His chapbook, Aquinas Flinched, is available from Modern Metrics, an imprint of Exot Books, New York, and his book-length poem, Huncke, is forthcoming from Seven Towers, Dublin. He lives in northern New Jersey where he hosts "Poetry at Tasty Coco," a monthly poetry reading in Caldwell.

Join me everyone in welcoming and congratulating Rick!

Cheers,
...Alex

Smart move, Alex!

This will encourage me to attempt my first ekphrastic!

Rick

Great News! Good to have you aboard!

Lance

A good choice. Welcome Rick!

Roy

Speaking as a reader, not a poet here, this was a great choice, Alex.

Congrats, Rick, and thanks for taking on the task. I might not have signed on to welcome John Riley to the fold, but he was a good choice , too...both are fine poets, voices of reason and thoughtful critters.

Pat

Thanks again, everyone.

Best wishes, Rick!

Martin

The best news in these parts for a long time. Congratulations, Rick.

Rick, I missed this; and I want to thank you for taking on what I know is a difficult job. I am a big fan of both your verses and your critiques, and this is great news for the old Sphere.

Folks,

Thanks.

Rick

I'm coming to this rather late, Rick, but congratulations!
Also, I love the title of your chapbook. Can you give me a link
for ordering it?

Thanks Gail,

Here is a link to Exot Books the Modern Metrics imprint of which published Aquinas Flinched.

Well, no wonder I like their books.
Qunicy and Nemo are the editors!
