The BAY AREA POETS SEASONAL REVIEW has just passed its 1st major anniversary: with the summer/fall 2009 issue we now embark--we hope, fearlessly--on our 6th year of publishing.

It's hard to believe that we have survived 5 years! We hope to keep going for at least that many more. 

Thank you for your contributions, feedback, support, without which we would not have made it this far!
