Due to time constraints, and many other factors, I feel that a reader shouldn't have to leave the page to get the gist of that editor's submissions. Therefore, I included direct quotes from all submissions, whole poems, and embedded all videos, with lots of links, credits, of course. So, liking the 'style of presentation,' well, obviously yes. (No I won't ask, but do wonder... scratches head just a little.) :):)",
