Congratulations to BPM contributor CA CONRAD, whose poem CONFETTI ALLEGIANCE (which appears in the inaugural issue of BPM, along with his poem, BEAUTIFUL MARSUPIAL AFTERNOON) is up at Poets.org:
Contributor copies are being mailed throughout this week & next as we assemble them. Thanks to everyone for their patience.
Whit & I have been working overtime assembling issues for our contribs who will be in Boston this weekend. We hope to have most – if not all – of the run assembled & mailed out to everyone by the end of next week. We thought we’d shoot for a run of 500 but have dropped it back to 250 for the moment.
