Editor's Introduction by
Fred Moramarco

“My double issue arrived today--and it was well worth waiting for.  I am bowled over by the range of poetry in the issue and the amount of work on your end that went into producing this hefty volume of worldwide poetry. I'm truly honored that "L'Affaire Dictation" appears with the work of such wonderful and well-known poets as John Ashbery, Kim Addonnizio, Ruth Stone, Gerald Stern--what incredible company I'm in!  I think this issue is going to be a real collector's edition.  Congratulations on this major editorial accomplishment.” Maria Terrone, a highly regarded Italian American poet

"So thrilled to have your beautiful and impressive book.  What a feast!  I never even heard of most of these poems although I was pleased you included Michelle Leggott (NZ) and George Elliott Clarke (Canada), two poets I know personally and admire!  It's a great idea:  we must all familiarize ourselves with the amazing stuff coming out of Africa and the Asian material is esp. revealing!  Bravo!  A really fine piece of work."    Marjorie Perloff, the country’s leading poetry critic
