Issue Two
A Note from the Editors

Where has the time gone?

Suddenly it's April, and they don't call it
the cruelest month for nothing (ok, ok,
we apologize, we couldn't help
ourselves), and lo and behold, Issue Two
still was only a concept, a figment, an
ohmygodohmygodohmygod-we-need-to-
get-this-done
kind of thing.

But thanks to all the great poets who
appear here, we debut Issue Two for
your reading enjoyment.

If you like what you read, let us know. If
you don't like what you read (though,
how could that be?), let us know too.

Better yet, send us some of your poems.

Thank you for reading,
~Eds.
