This issue is dedicated to the people of Xaouen, Rif, Morocco.
Dear Poets and
Readers,
§ Our April edition introduced Richard Vallance's masterpiece Sappho's Odes.
These Odes have been entirely reconstructed through the poet's imagination from the existing fragments in their original Greek form. As the work is quite extensive (six Odes), their full publication is done serially and concludes in this issue with Odes IV through V.
§ We are sorry to say farewell to our contributor Mike Burch, author of The HyperTexts, who will always be welcome back. Yet, pleased to introduce, as a new Resident Poet, our old friend, worldwide web famous, the one&only Jim Dunlap. We look forward to his regular contributions, together with Canadian Helga Ross and Sara Russell with her Norris Cartoons.
