EDITORSNOTE
This issue has an urban theme, so most of the selections
have to do with cities (even if very loosely).
Im very proud of the poetry in this issue. Once again we
were overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of
submissions, and it was difficult to say no to many of them.
I think that the 50-odd poems weve selected are verygood, and I hope youll agree.
This issue would not have been possible without the
enthusiastic, able, and intelligent help of assistant
editors Peter Newton, David Serjeantand John Emil
Vincent.
Im grateful to the editors for their help, and to all whosubmitted poems for consideration.

crown jewel of old mister henry fords empire .. the

cat dragged in . i was slashed the slash & the blade . i
was the the fist the gloves . i was the punch .
i had blasted off from planet catholic when the calendar
claimed i was 16 . bob dylan bonnie bramlett john
lennon & grace slick were the lord the nun the pope
the virgin mother & more than enough religion to last
a lifetime
the day before the funeral my mother called .
the funeral is yesterday the funeral is today the
funeral is tomorrow eddie were all going tocommunion it would be respectful if you went grandpa
