We're back after our break, with a really good number, in the editor's opinion.

So now we're on the look-out for poems for August. Do keep sending them.

After that, I must think about a new theme issue. Any suggestions?

By the way -

When you send poems - please do make it clear that it's poems you're sending . I get so much junk mail with surreal titles these days that I delete quite a lot unread. There's only so much of your life you can spend reading adverts for Viagra, or business proposals from Nigerians. Put "poems" or "poetry" or "Snakeskin" in the subject line, and the mail will get through. Usually.
