Mr. Johnson has several poems pending publication March. through July, 2007. I have had a huge box of "unfinished" poems in a large box for 40 years, dating back to 1965-67. They are getting published faster than I can revive or revise them. Yellowed paper, napkins and all. I have not submitted poems since the early 70's, remember, the "old fashioned" way, via mail.
