Updated radio page for this weekend's show . . . Cenacle 126 is stapled, Sampler 23 is close . . . it's hard reading the news these days & putting out one's care into the world . . . no choice, if better days are to be reached . . .

Finally, Scriptor Press Sampler | 23 | 2021 Annual is now added to the site. . . This Annual's contents include:
*** Poetry by Raymond Soulard, Jr., Tamara Miles, Martina Reisz Newberry, Nathan D. Horowitz, Colin James, Judih Weinstein Haggai, & Sam Knot
*** Prose by Jimmy Heffernan & Charlie Beyer
*** Dream Raps by Raymond Soulard, Jr.   
*** Labyrinthine [new fixtion] by Raymond Soulard, Jr.
*** Fiction by Algernon Beagle & Timothy Vilgiate
*** Graphic artwork by Kassandra Soulard & AbandonView

I took a somewhat different approach to this Sampler . . . it's occurred to me that, since I got so far behind on this series, there were contributors that are no longer part of that currently active group . . . & as such were not responding in previous numbers to me sending them copies of the Sampler with their work in it . . . not even a thank you or any kind of acknowledgement . . .

This bothered me, maybe more than it should have, but I decided simply to focus on the many who are still active contributors to Scriptor Press New England . . . I wish the others safe passage, but leaving it at that . . . maybe other days will bear good surprises, unexpected reunions . . . life is long, anything is possible . . .

But the issue is done, save for it & Cenacle 126 being packaged up & mailed to the contributors, & the press archives being updated . . . a nice feeling . . . I will admit I have not been filled with nice feelings in recent days . . . Faux King Lunatick & his herd of evil men are causing a lot of pain . . . with a kind of glee . . . this week, especially last night, I kind of just gave in to it all, a sort of panic attack . . . a night's sleep helped some, as it does, & deciding to do this update this early AM helps too . . . I know I am not alone in feeling scared & angry & helpless . . . & better days will come at some point . . . just these stupid unnecessary hard ones right now . . .

With this current work concluded, more timely than in recent times, I can focus on writing till at least early April . . . that's what I need most of all . . . Cenacle 127 will be the 30th anniversary issue, so glad some time to think that one over . . . Sampler 24 will bring that series up to 2022, close to current as it has been in a long time . . . & Raibook #10 will contain Dream Raps Vols. 7-10, which is just cool to think about . . . as well, Burning Man Books 2025 is gearing up, even as I cannot yet return to the desert . . . & SPRadio goes on & on, & the Jellicle Literary Guild will occur in April too . . . & this site nears 32 years ongoing . . .

All one can do is love & support the people around one, & extend this love out as far as possible, & do one's good work, no matter what this is . . . I know these evil people will fall at some point, but the damage they do just makes me wish there was some kind of cosmic judgement to this mortal life . . . nobody is free from having caused harm to another, or one's self for that matter, but some take it upon themselves to be far, far worse . . . I vowed Opposition to them, & this remains, in its better & lesser days . . .
