It was my pleasure to work with two wonderful senryu poets who are also personal friends of mine. Terri French and Kelly Moyer are also good friends with each other so that is a real bonus. They presented me with their ‘best’ work and I wrote brief commentaries on each piece submitted. It was the most fun I have had in many months!
I will create a new ‘Invitation Only’ issue six times a year between the full issues that Bryan Rickert does so admirably.
Check them out and enjoy, and watch for more videos and some site rearrangement so we can get the ‘back issues’ up again on site.
