Kudos to all the 'spherians in this issue !

Susan, Don, Stephen, Oliver: your work in this issue is sterling, congratulations!

Wendy, it's so kind of you to make the announcement, thank you. Perhaps I should note this is an earlier version and flexible formatting of "Home Free All"; it's the one Jean Mellichamp Milliken preferred, and the editor rules! It's an honor to appear in The Lyric.

Congratulations to everyone!! That's wonderful news.

Lo

Wendy, thank you for posting this. I should mention that
I'm always delighted by the hand-written notes I receive from Jean Mellichamp Milliken and often amazed and very appreciative that she finds the time, in a busy schedule, to share her personal responses to the poems that I submit. I'm honored to appear in The Lyric, to be in close
proximity with the likes of Terese Coe, Susan McLean, Stephen Scaer and Oliver Murray - whose poems I admire; which, by virtue of their craft, can only raise the 'property values'of my two humble mentions!

Don -- you're way too humble and kind. I suspect you're hiding some exciting vices.

In addition to Susan, Don, Oliver, it was great to see Alfred Dorn in this issue.
