Dear Reader,

Forty years ago as many as half a million young people gathered on a farm in Sullivan County New York for three days of rain and mud and music and shared participation in a great moment of history. The moment symbolized that revolutionary epoch we call "The Sixties" which ran on at least to the Nixon resignation in '74. So much of our politics and culture changed forever at that time. Maybe this is a good occasion for us all to "ruminate" on the changes and their validity now four decades later.

I think we have a delightful issue here in our thirty first year of publishing Home Planet News. Something for everyone to enjoy in our characteristic "eclectic mix." I happened to glance at a calendar during this writing and noticed it is October 27th, which is the birthday of both Dylan Thomas and Sylvia Plath, whom Enid and I regarded as tutelary spirits for this publication, and used to celebrate the occasion at our fall fundraisers at the Cedar whenever we could get a Sunday close to the date. So a birthday nod to Sylvia and Dylan.

And, finally, Obama's in the White House and, while all 's not right with the world, it does feel just a tiny bit better, doesn't it?

Dear Online Reader

The hard copy issue of Home Planet New has been out for a month now, or maybe longer. It's a beauty. Good Poems. Good Reviews. Good Fiction. Check it out.

   This Online editon of Home Planet tries to give something of the whole issue, but it's like a poor translation of a good poem. To get the full monty of Home Planet News Subscribe now (see About Us).

   Because this Online Issue comes out later than the hard copy, it is now Holiday time. Seasons Greetings to everyone: Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas,Joyous Kwanzaa --and lets not forger Emily Dickinson's birthday or Rainer Maria Rilke's or Christina Rossetti's birthday either. All in December. Celebrate Read A New Book month, Universal Human Rights Month, National Pie Day, Rosa Park's Day. Honor World AIDS Day. Remember Pearl Harbor Day and the Boston Tea Party Anniversary. Celebrate, Honor, Remember, Forger --all of it leads to poetry. Happy New Year

   This web site in constantly in flux. If you have any suggestions concerning it, any helpful hints to get us a wider audience or to improve our appearance, please let us know.
