I just recently rediscovered Issuu (thanks Melissa, at the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy), where you can publish your documents. It has this neat flip-the-pages feature that mimics the reading experience, sort of. Above is a scan I did - actually multiple scans - of issue #160.


Here's a second issue, #161:

I'm still working on improving the quality of the scan, but this is certainly an interesting way to go in terms of providing samples for poets thinking of submitting work. I've connected up both of these issues to the archive and, since I have no idea what the archive and the Lilliput homepage is going to look like after the imminent changeover to Google Sites from Google Pages, where they are located now, this may be the way I go to archive in the future. Here's where the documents are stored on Issuu.

awaiting the stars--
even a turtle cools
