As some readers have already noted, LUPO has had to undergo a makeover. Hopefully, the site is still easy to navigate. All the old features are there, but for anyone as easily confused by
changes in the digital landscape as the editor, it might be helpful to note that you click on the blue circle with three white bars at the top right of the Welcome page to get to Submissions, The Poets, News, Contact and Links. In The Poets click on the author’s name to read the short bio alone, or enter the name in the search box to pull up the bio plus all the author’s contributions.

That elusive beast the LUPO gremlin has managed to escape again, so when scrolling through please note Next has become Previous and Previous become Next. Apologies for the inconvenience.
