I'm on the editorial board (though i've missed the last 2 meetings and haven't read the subs for Wednesday's meeting which I'll miss too 'cause of working in Westchester) for this lovely journal and really like this issue, as well as, issue 13 for which all the poetry has been selected for so due come out and have a good time at this release party, okay? I'll definitely be there- 'tho late since I won't get back in the city from work until 7:30-8ish....
