Letters to the Editor
What a wonderful joy it is to read the works you've collected here on your page. So much of the focus on the net seems to be on the 'smut' and games, that places like this page get overlooked. Writings from the many wonderful, yet 'unknown', minds of the world need to be expressed, felt, and shared and I'm pleased that you have provided such a place on the net. If history is a story about the winners then poetry is the history of the 'losers', those of us in the real world. A world of love, pain, tenderness, friendship, abuse, and everything else the world challenges us to overcome together or alone, in public or in the dark recesses of our minds, this is the real world and we shall experience it like or not. It's nice to know that poets seem to have accepted the fact that in order to love we must and will experience pain, the greater the love the greater the pain. Thank you for taking the time to read my random thoughts and comments.

Your issues simply get better and better !
Really enjoyed # 4 in fact, I really enjoyed all of issue #4.

I read Rosa Clement's "Silvered" poem. I thought that was pretty good. I liked the imagery, but most of all I liked the way she didn't use ridiculously long words just to be a snob. Anyway, I also liked her subject ... very simple thing ... something one might actually think about - and perhaps has.
I hope you print some more of that kind of poetry ... thoughtful and ... poetic.

Accolades to Jacqueline Carey for a divine and mezmerizing peice of literature! The imagery was oustanding and the story was gripping and overwhelming. I plan on digging deeper in my spare time. Those who stumble upon this fine text should commend her for a job marvelously done.

Eventide is a masterful reflection on what one feels at sunset. It had a twisting flow that was intriguing. We all are woven so tightly into our little routines that we rarely take time to enjoy the beauty of nature. Here in Boone we are given so many opportunities to enjoy the work of nature. That is one of the reasons I call Boone home. Thanks for the minute of reflection and peace.

I'm also a writer, but it's hard to me to write something in english; that poem, THOUGHTS, made me feel weird, strange, and happy. Sometimes I start to feel that I'm not from these world, or if I am it's a lonely life...full of human beings. Congratulations for your magazine , I'll be looking forward to write you again; and I hope you'll answer my little letter.
