A Note from Perigee's Founding Editor

This issue—which marks our 7th anniversary and is our 28th volume—will be Perigee's last publication for the foreseeable future. Perigee has been a great passion of mine for these many years, and a constant source of discovery and inspiration. These days, as a stay-at-home dad and full-time graduate student, my attentions are necessarily shifting elsewhere. I'd like to leave the door open for Perigee's return in the coming years and hope to revisit and rekindle this remarkable conversation we've been having.

In the meantime please accept my sincerest thanks for your support over the years. As I look back through 28 issues I leave satisfied that Perigee accomplished the goal at the heart of my decision to create this publication in the first place: To provide a quality venue for well crafted writing and art, particularly for voices who might not otherwise be heard.

Yours Truly,

Robert J Woerheide

I am sad that Perigee must take a hiatus--but I'm very excited for Rob, who began grad school classes this week.

More power to him.

I know that the readers and contributors will eventually make enough noise to get Perigee back online--when Rob is ready.

(before he knows it his daughter will be in school and he will be teaching his own classes)

I will continue to engage in the things that made it from my brain onto Perigee, so I hope you all will continue the dialogue with me.

I have begun blogging at www.benthecause.wordpress.com, so please take a moment to check out my new blog--and help me further The Church of Poetry.
