I have spent moments over the past few days looking through DOL 2. It is, of course, a pleasure and an honour to be included. I was particularly taken by Cralan Deutsch's work Legends has provided an interesting challenge . . . Oz Hardwick  . . . and good luck with the next terrific issue! Michael Meyerhofer  . . . keep up the great work you do for poetry. Ann Egan dew-on-line 1 & 2 look great . . . Paul Madden I wanted to thank you again - + tell you how happy I am to be part of what you're doing. I love spending quiet moments w/ your site. Erin Cowgill

I am enjoying re-reading the completed dol 2. Felicity Brookesmith I'm very excited both about dol, and the new anthology series. Michael Meyerhofer   And of your art work, I was particularly taken with the "dew-on-line" one, the blue and white one with the two blue-green dots. It drew me in with a slight intake of breath (I'm not kidding) yet felt so peaceful. I'll no doubt return to it. The translation of Santoka p.7 is very fine . . . You're off the a good start . . . and when the journal is still quite short like that, there is a sense of anticipation which is bound to keep bringing readers back. I think the organic aspect of dol is going to work quite well. Larry Kimmel a short while ago: I wanted to write to you at once . . . to say how lovely to see the poems and artwork so vibrant there. I've read, once through, the bios, comments and reviews, too.  . . . The sexy one and raining again is all sorts of things, among them grin-making, real, refreshing...and real applies to you as Editor, too... I loved the Tanka in the Reviews:that's a form I find appealing . . . As you can see, I'm continuing to feel inspired, and now I'll have another look/read/muse.. Felicity Brookesmith

I've seen your new site - and it's brilliant. It's a good idea to change the way that STILL is seen, also. Eamer O'Keeffe II am hugely impressed by dew on line (which I heard from Stanford Forrester)  the artwork is as luscious as the poems. Keep it up. Sarah Luczaj I feel inspired...again!...visiting dol 3... Felicity Brookesmith The site is looking good and i like the name . . . Sheila Windsor I am honoured to be part of your projects! Sarah Luczaj  . . . I think the issue is wonderful. Michael Meyerhofer

I have spent some time looking at dol and also reading your own poems and the quality is truly superb. Alice Pero Enjoyed the "seascape" poem in the journal proper and always Santoka . . .I was happy to see you using longer poems in the feature of Marjorie Buettner's. Larry Kimmel Some of the poems were very good. I think my favourite this time was the more traditional "cat and cricket" poem of Tim Chamberlain, with its charming illustration. I also liked Sheila Windsor's "Moon". Heather Kirk It is growing isn't it! Bill Brown again, thanks so much for the site,  the work,  and the wonderful feeling of collaboration Erin Cowgill

I have enjoyed still very much. Nir Shaki I am delighted with your perceptive review of my book, 'A Pattern for This Place'! It is especially gratifying to know that my tanka about a woman from a different time and place communicated to you, who live an ocean away and one or two cultures away. Thank you! Carol Purington . . . and the entrancing Poet Feature . . . beautiful, truly poetic, and what a cv...shall visit prayer lighthouse later, and re-visit dol 3. Felicity Brookesmith   I just peeked in on your site tonight and what you did was absolutely wonderful. You have such a vibrant yet subtle artistic hand. Wonderful images that seem to go hand in hand with the poetry. How can I ever thank you for the gift you have given me? I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Marjorie Buettner   I've been to your revamped website and love it! The latest DOL with Marjorie is priceless. Hortensia Anderson

. . . it is a pleasure to watch DOL move through different spaces as it grows. Oz Hardwick dew-on-line looks good, already the quality and the entity are 'beginning' to 'hone itself' into something distinct, much as still originally did. It's good to see more haiga and artwork. Are you going to include more of your own artwork and photography? One of the best features of still was always your amazing covers. I hope there will more of your photography in future editions. Tim Chamberlain   I have just read through your feature of Marjorie Buettner in dew-on-line 3 - wonderful. I look forward to reading more. Debra Woolard Bender   After having looked through dol 3 I am beginning to understand a little more of the meaning you give to the word?journey?. The scope of subjects, imagery and style is extensive, and yet you give a sense of underlying cohesion to each journal as a gathering of poems. I think it is this which generates the feeling of ? collaboration? Erin Cowgill speaks of so rightly. Bill Brown   I would like to let you know how much I enjoyed your and Marjorie Buettner's joint feature!    It is simply beautiful !! I love Marjorie's writing and your sensitive,  quiet artwork beautifully complemented her writing.   Well done ! My best wishes and admiration. Maria Steyn   Your http://www.aili.co.uk/home.htm/is marvelous! Ray Rasmussen
