bunny gone, email badness, poetry good
Rick Lupert
---.) We were experiencing temporary e-mail badness...so if any messages,
submissions, classified ad orders, link add requests, etc. have
been bounced back to you, please resend.
---.) Speaking of bunny, our SWAG supplier has discontinued the PLUSH
BUNNY TOY so you'll have to settle for boxers, mugs, t-shirts,
and baseball jerseys, embiggened with the Poetry Super Highway
logo. Thanks for shopping and supporting PSH!
---.) We'll be publishing our annual HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY issue next
week. Please send in any poems you have related to the Holocaust.
Make sure you include a bio which includes what city you live in,
and please paste the text of the poems directly into the body of
the e-mail. No attachments. Previously published elsewhere is OK
but please mention where so we can give credit where it's due.

³These poems are extraordinary, fantastic, freaky turnings not to
be secured with ease, the clarity developed by pursuit, the dark
and light of understanding, of misunderstanding, all are here, the
eloquence of it as it appears and disappears, whatever it might be,
all of it is here.²
-Luis Garcia
