\nI pick it up and remember the kids dragging it all around the house, losing it at the grocery stores and having to drive back to get it, how dirty it was being brought to the table and clung to in bed, how many times I had to replace the batteries, and their tiny little hands pushing the button over and over until I thought I’d go mad.<\/p>\n

Y<\/em><\/strong>es, I did promise to offer some editorial commentary on the new edition of Frogpond, which is the first issue edited by our Honored Guest Poet George Swede<\/a>. With help from Prof. Yabut and HaikuEsq, I’m still collecting my thoughts, which I hope to share this evening or early tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n
