Hi Ed,

Thanks & congrats again to you as well. The beautiful cover photo is acknowledged in the issue, and is from a (beautiful) Mexican (and Mexico-based) artist.

Cheers,
...Alex

I am taking the liberty of bumping this up for the weekend visitors.

[Alex Pepple]

Thanks, Susan and Janice -- yes, many poets, writers and essayists, critic and artist well worth reading ... plus several Eratosphereans!

Cheers,
...Alex

My copy just arrived, and I'll be dipping into it tonight, but that cover! It's even more beautiful in person, as it were, and seems to be part of a series. Stunning photographs throughout.

Got my copy Saturday. Alex has placed my poem, A Suicide, opposite Kim Bridgford's Lazarus. They dance together beautifully.

[Susan d.S.]

Congratulations all, looking forward to it. Susan
