Default Light's new issue

The Winter/Spring '15 Light is here: http://lightpoetrymagazine.com/revamp/

As usual, we've got more Spherian contributors than not. I think this is a complete list:

Julie Kane (featured poet)
Brian Allgar, Peter Austin, Brendan Beary, Bruce Bennett, Jerome Betts, Catherine Chandler, Edmund Conti, Barbara Lydecker Crane, Dick Davis, Rhina P. Espaillat, Anna M. Evans, Conrad Geller, Peter Goulding, Gretchen Hodgin, A.M. Juster, Jean L. Kreiling, Barbara Loots, Richard Meyer, Martin Parker, Marion Shore, J.D. Smith, Janice D. Soderling, A.E. Stallings, Gail White, Ryan Wilson, and David Yezzi.

Thanks, one and all! Happy reading! And if you're so inclined, I hope you'll follow us on Twitter @LightPoetryMag and on Facebook at Light Poetry Magazine.

Oh, my goodness, this issue is a hoot! I've been laughing out loud and sending friends the links to some of these poems for the last twenty minutes. Well done, all!

I've enjoyed what I've read so far and am looking forward to reading more when my teaching duties allow. There is nothing like some light verse to perk up my day.

I was happy to see the article setting the story straight re the Boston toast that many of us thought we knew. Very interesting, Mike.

Julie, thanks.

And thanks to all of you who participated in my little poll, which helped Melissa & me to calibrate the piece.

A great pleasure, as always -- I just started in and it's already got me chuckling. Congrats to all!

Best,

Once I started reading, I could not stop. Another successful gathering of funny and talented folks. Thanks editors and poets who carried this chuckle-worthy collection into the Light of day.
