[Melissa Balmain]

Hi all,

Our Winter/Spring issue is live!

It's true that we've got a fair clump
of poems that stick it to Trump--
but no matter your side of the aisle,
we hope you'll find reasons to smile...

including:

*Featured poet Brian Allgar (plus an inspired appreciation by Chris O'Carroll)
*Work by so, so many other Spherians
*"Impossible" rhymes made possible
*The skinny on light-verse events, contests you may want to enter, and the latest achievements by Light contributors
*Barbara Egel-eyed book reviews
*A cover photo by Ana Venegas that addresses the age-old question: Does Valentine's Day mean you have to smudge your makeup?

(And to help keep the laughs coming, we hope you'll stop by our donations page. (Editing and publishing Light is an all-volunteer effort, but our costs add up.))

Happy reading--

the Light Brigade
