Poemeleon receives coveted THQ Award!

Hey! Well, I think it's pretty cool.

In the just-released issue of The Hiss Quarterly the editors announce that:

This quarter's THQ AWARD belongs to Cati, Ren & Maureen at  "Poemeleon".
Ms. Porter (Cati) says:

Like it or not, poets everywhere are in conversation with each other.
So, the answer to my own questioning is: If I do nothing else to forward the interest of poetry in this life, I would like to have at least contributed to the conversation.

That's nifty. So is Poemeleon. Go visit them when you've had enough hissing. And tell them we sent you!

So, while you're waiting breathlessly for the next issue of Poemeleon to be released (you are, aren't you?), go check them out!
