The Wrong We Did Rachel

One of the poems in this issue, Rachel Walker's "The Only Journey," was actually selected by Howie Good for Issue 33's special section on poems related to quotations. Howie gave it to me, I pasted it up on the web, but then I failed to create the links to it, so it didn't appear in the issue.  I've since inserted it in the issue, but since we discovered the error after the issue had been out for awhile, I wanted to include it in this issue for those of you who missed it.  It's a beauty.

Thanks...

to all for your continued support of RHP, as authors and/or readers.  If one adds the number of regular issues, special issues, electronic chapbooks, this is our 55th release.  Not bad.   Now for the bad news:  We're running low on orange.  If anyone has any they can donate, please send it on.

Remembering those in, on, and near the Gulf of Mexico...
