As we did last year during the holidays, we shall have Sharon Passmore deck the lariat halls with eight to twelve poems, upon which Rhina Espaillat has graciously agreed to comment. If you haven't experienced the exhilaration of having Rhina comment on your work, now's your chance. Please email your best poem of 2004 which has been workshopped at the Spere to timmurphyis@att.net.

Tim's asking for your poems to be in by Wednesday night since he'll be out of town the rest of the month and Rhina wants a chance to review the poems before the Christmas holidays set in. Send them to him at night so they go to his home computer instead of his office and he'll forward them to Rhina to select those she wants to comment on. Her time is limited so none of us should feel slighted if our poem isn't chosen. It's short notice, but you don't have to write a poem; your submission should be one you've already workshopped on Erato in 2004.
