So I had grand plans for poetry month. I wanted to feature more poets and venues, give away a number of books and salute the poetry I love. Unfortunately, April became our busy season at work and I averaged about 12 hours a day at…

Have a look inside the archives at Ideomancer. Give “Voyager 2, Upon Arrival”, by Chris Flowers a read.
