Editor's Notes

Greetings Dear Readers,

The April issue features road trips, rail ties, maple syrup, stories, and citrus. I hope you enjoy the issue.

In celebration of National Poetry Month, I want to highlight the recent poetry books and chapbooks of the members of our selection committee:

Chris Johnson, 320 Lines of Poetry (Anstruther Press);
Jagjeet Sharma, Measure of a Wo/Man (Broken Keys Publishing);
Marjorie Silverman, (Un) Spoken (Now or Never Publishing);
Coming soon from Andrew Lafleche, Medevac;
and from yours truly, Beast Body Epic (AngelHousePress).

I urge you to visit your local bookstores to order these books or in my case, to contact the author to get copies.

Thanks to our selection committee this month:

Jesse Aubin
Dan Boland
Sarah Kabamba
Andrew Lafleche
Margo Lapierre
Jade Riordan
Jagjeet Sharma
Marjorie Silverman
Carol A. Stephen
