Gravity: A Journal of Online Writing Issue 12

Issue 12, October 1997
Editor's Desk




Hello, and welcome back to Gravity! Taking the summer off from publication has refreshed things both around here and where the writers are, it would appear. There are four names new to the 'zine this time around, and characteristically excellent work by the usual suspects.

Of special note in Issue 12 are Amy Wright's "Hunters and Gatherers", Dancing Bear's "The Cover of Her Notebook" and Michael Brackney's "Tommy From the Coast Remembered".

Gravity has just received its 1,400th hit as I write this. Remember, the account with WebCounter is set so that only one hit per site is recorded so, ideally anyway, fourteen hundred people have read the 'zine! Who says no one reads poetry any more? The e.zine movement helps out a lot in publicizing Gravity. You can check them out via the link from the cover of this issue.

Note on the new layout: The HTML I'm using for this issue may well not be standard stuff, but I've tried it on Navigator 3 and MSIE 3 and it works fine both places. If you're having a hard time reading any of this, please let me know!

Thanks for reading and enjoy!

J.C., September 1997
