Dragons & Rayguns
Greetings, specpo friends! We’re highlighting this time light poetry, sometimes disparaged in “serious” poetry circles. Balderdash! Look for a Shuggoth here. As we’ve done all this 40th Anniversary year, our cover artist Virgil Suarez is also a poet; through his work, we honor Hispanic American Heritage Month: he is a Cuban American writer, artist, and luthier. Enjoy! Laugh! And look thou for the Shuggoth!
