[stylist] In the Storms of April and Pantoums

[Lynda Lambert]

I just checked, and it is Mary-Jo Lord who has written the excellent "HOw to 
Write a Pantoum" in the newest edition of Magnets and Ladders Literary 
Magazine. Kudos to Mary-Jo for a terrific piece.

Jackie, knowing when to STOP is not only the dilemma of the poet, it is also 
the challenge to a painter.
