HIATUS, HIATUS, HUH!
The Poems-For-All mailing list returns, folks, after a shorthiatus so that I could move the entire thing off my former**employer's mail service. I'm now using Google groups, which is why you may have received a notice about being added to a group.
The desire is to send as few emails as possible. So, in addition to the occasional event announcement, I'm goingto try to send out a weekly / weakly email collecting togetherany information I need or want to convey about Poems-For-Allevents and publications or the literary arts community-at-large.
Thanks for your continued support of the poetry scene in Sacramento!
