A Poets View

Hello everyone,

 I am so excited to present the fall issue of Ya’Sou!.  This is the largest issue I have ever published.  It is filled with pages by both new and undiscovered poets as well as poetry  from the traditional triolet to free verse and the experimental.  Also included are the winners of the poetry contest.  I want to thank all who entered and congratulate the winners.

I’d like to introduce you to Justin Germino aka Dragon Blogger who has joined Yasou as the resident blogger.  His poetry is excellent to say the least and he will also be writing about blogging etc… in future issues.  Be sure to visit his page and check out his blogs.  I’ve included the Yasou blogroll as well which will be a permanent feature.  The page has a list of blogs displaying some very creative artists and writers.

The Eternity Magazine of which I am one of the chief foreign editor’s is a spiritually enlightened international magazine which focuses on peace, love and unity throughout the world.  It hosts poetry, essays, art, short stories and commentaries from artists around the globe.  So please visit the Eternity page on the navigation bar where there is a link to their myspace page.  You can read more there.

I am proud to announce Corey Mesler as our featured poet.  He is an extraordinary writer and all around human being. Take a look at his page as well.

I have recently begun blogging on a regular basis as some of you already know and I absolutely love it.  I have two blogs running, one is called A Poets View which is my writing blog and the other is My City By The Bay which concentrates on San Francisco. I won’t post the links here because there are links in the magazine so please visit.  I have to say it is so wonderful to get paid for doing what I love to do.  Thank you Today.com

And, thank you to all my loyal contributors.  You are the ones who make Yasou a great and ever growing ezine.

Enjoy,
