Issue 61 is now UP! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

5 Replies

This issue is over 200 pages of some of the most creative work I have edited. I told you there were no restrictions and many of you took me right up on the challenge. I love the experimental, but there are lovely, and sometimes very touching works in here as well. It just seemed to me that many of you were not focused on the craziness of 2020 but instead looked inside of yourselves and found not just hope but downright happiness. I feel the same way. Caged a bit, but my wife and I are closer and more in love than ever, and that is saying something!

This last year was a year of discovery for all of us, and a poet’s heart is wonderful thing and always up for the test. Peace and best wishes for the new year!!! I could not wait, so this issue is going up a few hours early so I can enjoy the bubbly with my wife undisturbed.

Love you all!!!

Mike

Just to let you know that the last five days have been hectic for me personally. And to add to the pain my Internet can barely download Gmail anymore.

I will try to get selection notices out to everyone, but formatting will have to wait until tomorrow when I can get to somewhere where I have a good connection.

My apologies, this has just been a week filled with hurdles that I have not been able to clear.

Peace

Mike
