With apologies to those who understood Melissa's slightly cryptic title down on G.A., ("X.J. Kennedy sacks P Manning") I'm going to make a little more noise about the new issue of LIGHT.

Sphereans and Sphere-friends who appear: Brian Allgar, Bruce Bennett, Jerome Betts, Douglas Brown, Ed Conti, Barbara Lydecker Crane, Bob Crawford, Claudia Gary, featured poet Bill Greenwell, X.J. Kennedy, Barbara Loots, Mary McLean,*Susan McLean, Chris O'Carroll, Frank Osen, Ed Shacklee, J.D. Smith, Gail White, and yours truly. Apologies if I missed anyone!

Still more Sphereans get reviewed in the issue: Gail White, Mike Juster and Richard Meyer

And, as Bugsy notes, there are Sphereans referenced beyond those who have work in the issue.

A big thank you to all the editors of LIGHT.

Mary McLean is in there, too, with one of the Little Willies.

Many thanks for the shout-out, Maryann. And my apologies for making the earlier announcement so cryptic... I couldn't resist, since the issue went live during the Super Bowl.

[Ed Shacklee]

This is a bucket of laughs, as usual, but it also contains several other buckets of laughs. I really enjoyed the book reviews, even of the books I have already, but especially of the one I don't have yet.

Best,

Ed

Outstanding as always. Congratulations to all who are bringing light into the world.
