Just got my Light today, and there's a good representation of 'spherians therein: Schechter (Rogerbob in here , Hayes, Stoner, LaRosa (RCL), Cantor, Bennet, McClean, Osen, and Wakefield (poems and review). I may have missed some, but that's what pops out at me.

Way to go, guys and gals...

Yeah, there are some great chuckles to be had! Don't forget the appearances of Esther Cameron and Gail White in addition to the sterling company Robt. mentions.

Cheers,

Whoops... I don't know 'dem gals well, I don't. Sorry... On a lighter note, Cantor may have set a record for the longest poem ever published in Light...

Thanks, Robt! And I'm having great fun reading that issue--there are some real knee-slappers in it, by Sphereans and others.

For the multitudes anxiously following Julie Stoner's illustrious poetry career, my publication scorecard is now:

Poems of sordid darkness--1
("Variations on a Theme by Perrault", Iambs & Trochees last Sept.: Red Riding Hood retold from recent child molestation/abduction headlines)

Poems that are just plain disgusting--1
("Obit", in aforementioned issue of Light: the true story of how I found part of a cockroach in my mouthful of pie)

Poems of love, beauty, affirmation, ambition, philosophical profundity, etc.--colossal pile of rejection slips

Seems I've found my niche!
