Greetings to poetry lovers and book lovers!
I received three chapbooks in the month of May. One from Tennessee, Wisconsin and California.
In this Spring - May 2005 issue, the editor gives a poem review to eleven poems. I gave short comments on the poems Randy Redmond, Alan Catlin, Rewa Fyles, Rhina Espaillat, Mark Stellinga and Joseph Powell. (See Poem Review Section.)
.
We have new poems nominated for Muses Review - Best Poem of the Year 2004.
