Have you ever clicked on to the link to a package coming your way via FedEx or the Post Office, thinking, I hope it's here soon!, only to find that it won't arrive (apparently) until next week? Here it is four days into Spring (technically), and I am waiting for the proof of the Fall/Winter issue; as soon as I can okay it, we can get the magazine to you! I keep looking out the window hoping that a delivery van will drive up. I'm also hoping that the Nor'easter projected for tomorrow night will miss us, but if not, maybe it will be the last of the wintry storms that have delayed us so much this year.
In the meantime, we have great news about our Poetry Contest Judge, Karen Skolfield--her book, Frost in the Low Areas, just won the New England PEN Award for Poetry! It is well deserved--the book is wonderful, and I'm only bragging a little when I say that we had the wit and foresight to print two of the poems in it in Common Ground Review 14.1 (the one with the cat on the cover).
Finally, we are still reading submissions as far back as from last summer for consideration for the Spring/Summer issue, and with any luck, we may be able to get that issue out when it is actually still Spring/Summer. (Probably Summer. But Summer 2014.)
Thank you for your patience! and let us know if you'd like a copy of the magazine, or a back issue.
