Well, done!

[Andrew Frisardi]

Nice, Martin. Congratulations to you and to other Sphereans in there.

Nice job Martin!

[Martin Elster]

Thanks, Ralph, Andrew F., and Andrew S. I read Jerome Bett's poem ("A Bibliophile’s Pipe Dream") earlier today and enjoyed it. It's at the bottom of the Formal Poetry page.

In addition to Martin and Jerome, Richard Wakefield, John Beaton, David Landrum, and Barbara Loots are also included in the Formal section.

Five of our Annual Sonnet Contest Top Ten are by Sphereans: Barbara Loots, Wendy Videlock, Susan McLean, Lisa Barnett, Frank Osen here,

The Interview this issue is by A.M. Juster (interviewing Sarah Ruden, and there are also five poems by Sarah) beginning on the front page.

And Peter Moltoni has two translations in, well, the Translation section. Just sayin'.

[Vera Ignatowitsch]

Thank you.
Yes! Peter also.

[John Riley]

Here's the link to my poem in the issue. It's a poem I needed to write. Thank you Vera for accepting it.
