Default The Flea has bitten some Eratosphereans

Doesn't look as if anyone else is going to do this so I will. I am enormously proud to be in http://www.the-flea.com/
The Flea

I love the taste of this little bloodsucker. I share my complacency with some fine Eratosphereans:
Mark Allinson. Maryann Corbett, Ann Drysdale, Richard Epstein, Bill Greenwell, R. Nemo Hill, Janice D. Soderling, and other tremendously good poets.

I am thrilled to be in The Flea because it seems a very special publication with a concentrated aura of being chosen by a fine editor who knows what he wants. Thank you Paul Stevens.

Hear, Hear!

I felt a bit too new to the 'sphere be the first to say it, but I'm proud to be the second sucker in the queue. It's Brit thing, queueing. We do it to prove how polite we are, but when somebody else opens the door, we're in there, with elbows and teeth!

Well met, friends. And thank you, Paul.

Yes! I am very happy to be Flea'd as well.

And especially in such fine company.

Thanks again to Paul, for such a fine little sucker!

Me too! Paul's little sucker is absolutely the most remarkable and interesting and different party I've attended in quite a while, and I'm thrilled to be in the room.

Paul did put an announcement down on GA (in Middle English, no less); sincere thanks to those who said nice things down there as well. And many thanks to Paul for all his work and his incredible inventiveness.

I'm seeing some amazing poems by many folks I know. I haven't read the whole issue yet, but so far I've read Janet's poem and it's fabulous, one of the best by her I've seen. I look forward to spending time with the rest of the poems and I'm sure I'm in for many treats.

(Whether or not every poet in the issue constitutes "fine company" is open to serious debate, and was in fact debated here at length. I don't wish to resurrect that entire discussion, but when people speak of the "fine company" or how honored they are to "be in the room," my desire to congratulate my friends here at Erato requires this slight disclaimer on my part. But the issue is fabulous overall.)
