Recap
February was a busy month at Cold Moon Journal. Of the 85 poets published, 17 appeared here for the first time. Congratulations to all.
Our eclectic batch of March poems will start up in a couple of days.
Don't forget to submit your April poems.
In the meantime, I can announce my new Alien Buddha Press book of micro fiction has just launched (available at amazon). I’m excited to share the cover of Demitasse Fiction: One-Minute Reads for Busy People with you.
