I see Mike Juster started this thread before I could get around to it. Mike's first poem in the issue is worth quoting, as it comes as welcome relief at the end of a tediously detailed history of the stem-cell debate:
A Stern Warning to Canada
If you want peace,
withdraw your geese.
But the November issue of First Things actually has a bonanza of poems, many by Eratospherians:
Paradise by Samuel Menashe
Wind River Justice by Timothy Murphy
A Stern Warning to Canada by A.M. Juster
Caravel by Wiley Clements
At Lansallos by John Drexel
Revisionism by A.M. Juster
Background Radiation by Amit Majmudar
Singing to the Penguins at the Memphis Zoo by Rob Griffith
All worth a look, yes?
