Oh well. Ernesto and Jarrett - Interesting feedback on the CFS. It hadn't occurred to me that people might find that intimidating, or that my own poem here might offer a counterweight (but keep in mind that, if submitted, it very well might not make the cut!). For the first year and a half of qarrtsiluni's existence, we didn't publish theme descriptions at all - the notice in the sidebar was it. But now, yes, the guest editors have made an art form out of it. Beth and I occasionally request some changes in the interests of clarity or concision, but this time we just posted what Brent and Ken gave us.

I hope you'll celebrate some future Anniversary by publishing your complete Calls for Submission. The CFS is such a neglected form. Peace, J Yes to what they said.

I also find the calls for submissions poetic themselves. Illustrative, but sometimes a bit scary: they make me sometimes feel that there's no way any of my work could address the topics. But reading your poem as a response, I regain a bit of confidence that the call is not impossible to answer... thanks. Cool poem indeed, and inspiring.

The Robin is staring disconsolately at the window. I think I even recorded the little poop piles he was leaving in defiance of that 'mocking fat thing'. Nice poem.
