  Dear Poets and Friends,

  After two plus years as editor of MiPOesias, I have finally decided to concentrate on other projects, but not without noting that it has been a very fun gig -- thanks to the hard work of MiPO's publisher, Didi Menendez, I've been able to showcase lots of poets' work that I love and meet so many nice folks, both virtually and in "real life", many who are members of this very list.   Thanks to all of you who sent such excellent work my way and allowed it to appear on MiPO!

  The reading series will carry on under a new name:  The Stain of Poetry:  A Reading Series  
  [http://thestainofpoetry.wordpress.com/]
