Chris O’Carroll is featured poet in the new Light
Oh, another delightful issue of Light and how wonderful to see Chris O’Carroll as the featured poet. He is one of my favorite light verse writers, but alongside him you'll find many other favorites--really just too numerous to name and Spherians are overwhelmingly represented.
Special congratulations to Chris, but kudos to all of you. And to the editors.

YEA for our Clever Chris! And Janice's Stepsister poem is a glorious hoot! And there's so much more . . . I'm thrilled that my heart surgery meditations are in there alongside the work of so many luminaries!

Yes, it is about time that Chris was featured poet at Light. The rest of the issue is also a delight, and I was particularly chuckling at the tailgaters.

Congratulations to the Light Brigade on a great issue and to Chris O’Carroll. Not only were many of his gems on display in the featured poet section and Bill Greenwell’s article, but his Dickinson tailgater doubled me up.
Good also to see Terese Coe’s waterfords (though, darn it, there goes a LUPO comp) and A. E. Stallings giving Housman some welly (though darn it . . .) as well as a wealth of other wicked wit from contributors old and new.

Thank you for posting this announcement, Janice. And thanks Jean, Gail, Susan, and Jerome for the kind words. Naturally, I'm jazzed about being initiated into a company of which Julie Kane, Susan McLean, Gail White, John Whitworth, Melissa Balmain, and A.E. Stallings, among other luminaries, are members. (Melissa was the feature back in 2007, well before she assumed the editorship.) And I know I've made my family proud, since my 89-year-old father insists on telling everyone that I'm the magazine's "centerfold."

That is surely the best kind of recognition -- congrats! I enjoyed the "centerfold" poems.

Hurrah! I turned straight to the centrefold, and enjoyed both Chris's poems and Bill's accompanying article. Looking forward to the rest.

Good show, Chris! As I told you by email, you have leapt overnight from being what you describe as "a virtually unknown poet" to a virtually unknown celebrity.
