Welcome to issue 33, as 3rd Muse Poetry Journal moves into its 6th year. I think in web terms this could be considered an eternity although when I think back on when we first began, in my mind it doesn't feel so long ago at all. As a reminder, all of the past issues of 3rd Muse are still available for viewing, whether for new readers or for those wishing to revisit.

We have of late been getting a sizable chunk of subscriber mail returned due to user name not being found. If you are a subscriber and have not received an update in the last month or two, please resubscribe with your current email address if you wish to receive further updates and notification of new issues.

I would also like to officially announce that the 3rd Muse Poetry Course is now up and running. Details of the course may be viewed here. Please, spread the word if you are able, as any support of this venture will go a long way towards insuring 3rd Muse stays around for a while to come.

Thank you, and enjoy the issue.
