Bios

An interesting editorial observation: the shorter the bio sent for our contributors' pages, the greater the reputation of the writer. A writer stating "X's new book of poems is ..." typically is far better known than the writer who fills a long paragraph with all his/her publications. Working hypothesis: "A writer's reputation is inversely proportional to the length of his bio." I'd better go shorten mine.
