Wow, this got more response than I expected.
I too was disappointed in the Humor issue, although I did laugh at Kennedy's "More Foolish Things Remind Me of You."
My friend Barbara Loots tells me that some of the poems were supposed to be parodies of current schools of poetry. I guess I was not au courant enough to pick up on that.
I'll tell you a secret: They solicit for the humor issue by notifying former contributors that it's coming up.
So, assuming it becomes an annual affair, the thing to do is send in your funny stuff between January 1 and March 15 - and indicate on the envelope that it's for the humor issue. Maybe an influx of Eratospherians can improve things.
