Dear Erastophereans,

I am equally pleased to announce a brand new moderator on the Eratosphere scene . . . drum rolls for our very own E. Shaun Russell! And again, The Deep End has moderator! And this is an important step toward revitalizing that forum.

You already know a lot about Shaun from all his active participation at the Sphere all these years, but did you know that:

~~~~~~~~~~

E. Shaun Russell is a poet and long-time member of Eratosphere whose poems have appeared in over thirty journals and anthologies, and have been nominated for two Pushcart Prize awards. He is currently pursuing doctoral study in the field of Poetry and Poetics, with a proposed specialization on the transhistoric, transnational evolution of sonnet form and trope. He currently makes his home in Northern Virginia with his wife Anna.

~~~~~~~~~~

Please join me in giving a hearty Eratosphere welcome to Shaun!

Cheers,

...Alex
