Greetings for the next issue. I know we skipped a season and stuff but we're just not that reliable. Michael Grover reporting for duty, I'm flying solo in editorship this issue, so I guess you can blame everything on me. Or if you like it give me credit.

The feature of this issue is Mikael Covey of the UK, and I must admit this was the first time I have ever really read his poetry. His stuff just grabbed me, the emotion, the feeling. We have all kinds of other standouts in this issue.

As for the hiatus, we'll just say it's been a rough time. I know everyone is having a rough time right now. There was a point I was considering quitting the press and everything, but passion for the craft pulled me through that. I seem to have landed on my feet as I tend to do.

As for the future in the next issue you can expect a full report from Kansas City and the Holy Specticle which is going down in August. I intend to be there. I know my oppinions are sometime controversal and they get me in trouble, but hey, I can only be me.

With that said let us let the Poems speak.
