Did everyone catch the move to the new address? Mindspring pulled a fast one on me and deleted the old url two weeks early. But you're here now.

The new design still needs tweaking, so any input you have as a reader is appreciated. A text only version is in the offing.

Issue 24 offers much in the way of good reading, including a short story by Barry Hoffman, new poems from Shari Willadson and work from the UK (Gerald England) and Australia (Coral Hull and Libby Hart). Welcome to new and returning writers.

Housekeeping issues - Jerry Fairchild and Steve, my responses to your submissions bounced. If anyone knows how I can get in touch with Amy Wright, please let me know.

Check out the Gravity Grotto when you're finished reading this issue, and give the writers some feedback on their work. Or, for a real bulletin board, hit Web del Sol's Writer's Block. You'll find poets there who've published here.

Issue 25 will be a special theme issue - "The Language of Illness". Poetry and essays/creative nonfiction accepted - no fiction for this issue, please. Any point of view (i.e. patient, caregiver, etc.) welcome. Other guidelines apply. Deadline is January 1, 1998. Submit right here.

School lets out in four weeks, the book should be out in 2-3 weeks, and I'm outta here.

JC, 11/98
