Dear V-Vs,

In view of Veterans Day and Election Day, the OPTIONAL theme for November is MY AMERICA. I'm sure I will receive some dynamic submissions — especially with you-know-who in the running. PLEASE send your submissions as soon as possible during the first two weeks of October.

We have a new Facebook group page in addition to our regular page.  The new group is called
"V-V TALK."  It's for people who want to talk seriously about anything to do with poetry and poetics — and, of course, if the conversation takes a lighter turn, friendly group interaction is always apropos. David Graham is moderator.  Check it out:

Our regular V-V group page, "Verse-Virtual," is for people to post news, announcements of publications and events, have discussions, and so on. Here's a link:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/versevirtual/ 

Statistics are good.  According to Google Analytics, last month V-V had 18,932 pageviews and 1,425 users.

Have a happy October.
​
Sincerely,
Firestone
