I just emailed the Per Contra editor at her Drexel University email address. If she responds, I'll let you all know what she says.

Bob,
Thank you for letting me know. This is a shock to me, and I will try to find out what happened.
Best,

I don't know about this particular journal, but, in general, i just wouldn't bother with some online journals to begin with. A little block party of poetry. If you value your work, treat it with a little respect. Secondly, be honest about it. There's a poem for sure i'd like to take back. That's the way it goes.

Another email this morning. It seems she had no idea it had vanished, and she now has her web guy working on it.

I want to echo what Maryann said about the debt of gratitude we owe to journal publishers (I know we have a few around here). I've seen, just tangentially, some of the effort required to get a journal out regularly, and it's heroic.
So, thanks to you editors!

Just a reminder--if we want to keep our favorite venues in operation, subscriptions and other donations are helpful.

Per Contra is now back. Miriam didn't realize it had somehow fallen off the internet since she is no longer publishing new stuff and therefore hadn't been checking. She was glad I let her know.
She indicated in her email that she would eventually like it if someone would take up Per Contra in the future. I'm not sure what that would entail, but if any would-be editors are intrigued by the notion, I suggest you contact her.

Thanks, Ned. How do you do that?
I sometimes save as html, and sometimes take screen shots, but both can be awkward. Saving PDFs might be ideal, but I don't know how to.
