[Alex Pepple]

Dear Eratosphereans,

I'm pleased to announce our newest moderator, a long-time Eratospherean, at ease with paint or ink, truly a wonderful poet and critic, who's ready to don the stars of the Eratosphere Staffdom, Updated Procedures and all in tow, as a co-moderator for the Metrical Poetry forum. [Insert drum rolls ...]

Rick Mullin is a journalist and painter whose poetry has appeared in several print and online journals including Measure, Unsplendid, Envoi and The Flea. His chapbook, Aquinas Flinched, is available from Modern Metrics, an imprint of Exot Books, New York, and his book-length poem, Huncke, is forthcoming from Seven Towers, Dublin. He lives in northern New Jersey where he hosts "Poetry at Tasty Coco," a monthly poetry reading in Caldwell.

Join me everyone in welcoming and congratulating Rick!

Cheers,
...Alex
