Dear sidereality fans & readers:
I hope that everyone is having a great spring, and that all of you are
doing well.
Recently, I've come to the realization that my heart's just simply not
where it needs to be in order to continue editing and producing
sidereality. So, unless someone new wants to step into the position of
Managing Editor between now and the end of June, the second 2004 issue
will be the final issue of sidereality. It saddens me to end my stint
as the creator of this oftentimes wonderful zine, but I think it's
something that, unfortunately, needs to happen. We've had, I think, a
very good run, and I certainly don't want to continue into a
second-rate future.
I expect to keep all of sidereality's back issues online, and I may
indeed come up with a "Best Of" print collection in the near future.
Please note that I'm not stepping away from the editing world forever
(I do have some ideas for a different type of poetry publication), but
it will be a few months before things coalesce into something
definite.
EDITORS: I've enjoyed collaborating with all of you, and I hope to
work with many of you again in the future.
READERS: Put simply, you made sidereality one of the best poetry
venues on the internet for the past three years.
CONTRIBUTORS & FUTURE CONTRIBUTORS: You're all quite wonderful
writers, and I wish much success, poetic and otherwise, to each of
you. If you were scheduled to have your work published by sidereality
in 2005, please consider it released at this time.
Thanks again, my friends. Please do feel free to pass this message
along to other interested parties.
Best wishes,
Clay
