Question: This newsletter is great, but I thought I would let you know of one thing I spend a lot of time searching for on the Internet and don't have much luck. I love the comfort, and in the inexpense, of submitting poems to magazines via e-mail, but there are so few, and not too long, such lists on the Internet. Do you think this is possible, or is it already and I'm just not finding the right link? Thanks for all your help and keep up the great work. I for one appreciate it. -Christopher Stolle
Anyone with an answer? I say - Chris, it's a great idea. Why don't you start up a list to share with others? Here's the first one for your list: keep off the grass accepts e-mail submissions: STCasey@aol.com
Question: have you sent powwow #3 yet? if so, i haven't gotten it yet. *hick voice* gosh, this internet thing is _weird_, ain't it? ;) -gl.
Question: Do you know how I can put realaudio on my page? My fantasy is that when someone comes to my page they have the option to read or listen to my poetry and when I have my paintings finally scanned in to be able to have me act as a docent for my own art work. kenneth spector hroao005@dewey.csun.edu

I have totally fallen in love with one single aspect of Polanco - the street names! They all named for famous philosophers, writers, and scientists, from antiquity onward. So you get fabulous intersections like Shakespeare and Copernicus, or Jules Verne and Virgil - I mean, the philosophical ramifications are stunning! Can you imagine a mixture of Verne and Virgil?. Honestly, it kind of works - I always thought "Journey to the Centre of the Earth was a bit sequel to "The Aenead". Litlle known facts, courtesy of Andrea D Middleton.
