Dear Whispers’ Friends,
When Karen invited me to come on board as Whispers’ Activity
Editor, last August, I was excited to become more deeply involved with this
excellent on-line journal. The more I came to know Karen and meet via poetry so
many of our contributors from around the globe the more convinced I became that
I had made the right decision. Like bread and wine you have nourished my love
of poetry and deepened my appreciation for the gift of words. Any day that I can
read your poems is a good day.
Karen and I are excited about the future of Whispers.
We are only weeks away from logging 300,000 page views. Next January 15 will
mark five years of publishing poets new to the craft as well as those at
varying levels of experience. Along the way, we have become a family. We partake together building and nourishing Whispers.
May you continue enjoying the pleasures of poetry as the
muse living in you gives voice and image to lines crying for habitation. Have
fun with your poetry!
Blessings and best wishes my friends,
Michael Escoubas, Whispers’ Activity Editor

Whispers is a wonderful on-line journal of poetry worthy to read. I have read so many good poems here that are not published elsewhere. This alone is a blessing. Having Karen and Michael as the captains of our little boat of poetry is good direction for those of us who read...and write...poetry. Thank you to Karen and Michael!
ReplyDeleteDear Barbara,

ReplyDeleteKaren already knows that I love her work and editing but Michael, you're one of the most kind and patient editors I've met. The activities to write special poetry are total fun projects. I always look forward to those.
