[R. S. Gwynn]

I have an interview and six poems in the new issue.

Good interview and poetry selection, Sam. I enjoyed it. I'm still waiting, however, for how the rest of the poem goes that begins, "Within this burning pain inside my breast."

[Julie Steiner]

"Songwriting and poetry are related genres, like painting and photography. But they’re not the same; reading lyrics without music would be like studying sculpture by looking at photographs of statues."

[John Riley]

Fun to read, Sam. Leaksville hasn't changed anything but its name.

[Allen Tice]

Ah, there you are, Sam. Good interview. I have a Texan relative by marriage named Pirkle.

[Sarah-Jane Crowson]

What an interesting article, and I do like 'God's Secretary', although all the poems were great in their own ways. But that was the one that made me choke on my tea with laughter!

Happy to meet up with you, Sam, at Better Than Starbucks. In spite of its name (anything is better than Starbucks) the magazine pulls in a good crowd.

[Jerome Betts]

Indeed, Barbara. As well as yourself and the S.Gwynn interview and poems November’s lively BTS overseen by Vera Ignatowitsch also contains work by eleven other Sphereans, namely Richard Wakefield, Brue McGuffin, Amit Majmudar, Kathryn Jacobs, Robin Helweg-Larsen, Max Gutmann, Martin Elster, Maryann Corbett, Jared Carter, Damian Balassone and Jerome Betts.
