The new String Poet is out and I am honored to have 2 poems ("Rain Trance" and "Nautilus") there. And the inimitable Jean L. Kreiling (wow!) is there, as well as translations by Ned Balbo and David Wayne Landrum. This is totally exciting to me, and it's a fabulous publication. So please check it out while I levitate around the neighborhood...

You fly, Arrow - just FLY!! And shake your fletchings as you go!! Beautiful photo with the sea behind you... Nautilus is one of my all-time faves of yours...

Great to read everyone here!

Huge congrats, Siham! I remember those poems SO well--and they are beautiful. Congrats to Jean too, and the other Sphereans. Will read them all properly later!

Siham, such lilt! Easy to see why String took them! And congrats to other Spherians too! David, recently I needed an excerpt from works and days - too bad I had no idea you'd been working on it; it would have been fun to quote and credit you. congrats to all!

[Siham Karami]

Thanks for such wonderful responses!

Keep me in the air, Calligraphy! C-bird soaring, playing those strings.

Thanks, Charlotte, for remembering.

Your encouragement does more than you imagine, Seree.

Couldn't have done it without the 'Sphere!

[Jean L. Kreiling]

Siham, thanks for posting this (and for calling me--oh my--"inimitable"?!). Your "Rain Trance" casts a lovely, psalm-like, trance-like spell.

Best,
Jean

There's no way to keep up with all this! Congratulations to everyone, and I look forward to reading very soon.

How did I miss this yesterday!

Siham, Jean, Ned, David, aren't we lucky to have you in our community.

String Poet is an admirable, most worthy venue.

Congratulations to all four poets and the editors.

Siham,

great news. Congrats. Both poems are very fine.
