 Here
are some corrections to published errors that have been pointed out to
me recently.
I’ll
take them chronologically.
My
No
More Separation Anxieties, Please in Issue 27 (September 2001)
contained this passage:
[Six
Degrees of Separation] . . . directed by Fred Schepsi and starring Will
Black, Donald
Sutherland,
Stockard Channing and Ian McKellen, it tells of a young man who turns up
one night
at the
home of a swanky New York couple and cons them . . .
As most
of you already know, it should’ve said “starring Will Smith”.
On to
the next error.
In Bet
Briggs’ poem
After Rain (Issue 43, May 2004) I mistyped a word, not once, but
twice. The word in question was stain, wrongly given as strain.
So, in
the first stanza it should read:
.
. . small precious gems
on
thirsting stems
restore
the
vital stain
that
floods through vein
of
stem and leaf . . .
Likewise,
the last few lines of the poem should read:
.
. . and heart regain
its
vital stain
once
more.
Again
in Bet Briggs’ work (For
Joan, Issue 44, July 2004), the word hear should, of
course, be here:
.
. . your words will be here for us to hold and cherish for their truth
Finally,
in the same issue (No. 44) there is an attribution missing from Eileen
Marshall’s piece I Can't Find Rhymes for My Couplets — and Other
Catastrophes:

Apologies
