Dear Backers, 

Thanks again for your generous backing of Lavender Review. The June issue was published in June, and the December issue is well on its way. As of today, all of you should have your rewards. I especially enjoyed writing seven Sapphic stanzas, five triolets, and seven sonnets. One of the Sapphic stanzas has already been published - you can read it here. If you’ve changed your mind and would still like to collect a reward, it isn’t too late. Please let me know, and I’d be happy to write a poem for you. Here's to lesbian poetry and art! 

Best wishes,

Mary

Beth Loofe/Oracle Jones raps for us from Nebraska. She is a spoken-word artist who's been on the National Slam Poetry stage twice, Queer Activist, writer, and playwright. Has Lavender mentioned how much she loves each and every one of these videos? 

From Israel, translator and poet Seree Zohar says something in several languages and accents about Lavender Review. 

And I love Desi and Ingrid, the superficial, homophobic lesbians of the hot hot show, THE SLOPE!!
