Thank you so much, Joel, for acknowledging "my helpers"!

ALL of the poets, artists, and photographers helped by submitting their material for this project and we are grateful beyond words. There was a committee of 5 people who volunteered to help sort through, review, and offer their recommendations for which pieces to include .... judih, panta, firsty, cenacle, and lightning rod. Thank you all for your time and work making this project happen! And a special thanks to judih for charting the recommendations! Had we published all the material submitted, the book would have been 600 pages, not 212 pages.

And joel? Your poetry is so darn beautiful, it's an honor to have your work in the book! You are a star, sir.

Oh and if anybody ordered one last night, let me know if your copy has a duplicate image in it. I found an error and replaced the file. I'll replace your book for you if you get one with a duplicate image. As gilda radner used to say.. "it's always something".. lol

I just read the prologue..... it´s great!!!!!! & the beautiful poems & the images looks so clear!!!!!!

My book will arrive sometime around the 22 - 29.

Travel swiftly, dear Infinite Tide.
